    Plus William Jennings Bryan wound up a certified delusional schizophrenic who thought that God was talking to him in person. And he was a nutcase creationist.

    Wilson? Let's just leave off that virulent old south racism.

  • Even if that were the case

    Food exporters are wise to enact food import tariffs. It makes sense and tends to actually drive the cost of domestic food down, slightly in the long run. After all, what's good for the developing world, the Asian rice producers and the crop producers of South America and Southern Africa also makes sense for the US.

    Sugar ethanol is flat out better from a chemical engineering perspective. About 7x more energy per unit input vs. corn. The flip side of that is that it's somewhat harder to grow here. Even if there were no tariff it wouldn't materially change how or if it's made here. And since corn is so inefficient it wouldn't have any effect on the land utilization for marginal increases in corn allocated for fuel anyhow. There's simply not that much land and other resources to use.

    Last but not least, Greens, every acre of Brazilian sugar beet for fuel is one less acre of rainforest. Where do you think they're getting the land to utilize?

    Used to be you could ignore that crushing medical bill of your partner's. No longer. Welcome to my world.

  • Of course in this day and age of semantics

    It's not actually a group marriage. Not unless the 3 other people I'm having sex with are paying my mortgage, don't have to probate will, get legal custody, etc etc etc.

  • But in true Democrat Party Fashion

    Declaring a winner, or even announcing that it's a race with winners and losers would harm someone's self esteem. Therefore it was declared today that everyone's a winner, everyone's special, everyone gets a trophy.

  • I think Nate Dogg said it best:
