I'm confused by this negativity. The Dems are all about cutting taxes for the low to middle class. Many on this board are Dems. Why the angst? Are you all closet fiscal conservatives?

We're producing 200 bushels/acre because our farmland has become a way to turn petroleum (mostly natural gas) into food. Yields 50 years ago were closer to 45-55 bushels/acre. The difference has come because of more effective pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. Almost all of the strains of food ...

So, if the slap-fest is finally over, does anyone have any idea why the NIE was able to do a total about-face on their stance regarding status of nuclear programs in Iran in about 4 months? The previous NIE on Iran was "released" in spring 2005. I suspect that the classified version of th...

I really don't understand how the administration is spinning this as anything but good news. Somehow, the fact that Iran stopped working directly on nuclear arms 4 years ago (under pressure for the IAEA) is BAD?!? A "warning sign?" In 2003, when we were "winning" in Iraq, Iran w...

Has anyone eaten Bison? Yes, it is like beef, less fat.
