Chemicals in your food, First Lady Michelle?:
First Lady Michelle Obama received widespread praise for her decision to plant a White House garden that will provide food for the residence. Obama has been receiving help with the project from Bancroft Elementary School children, who are learning the importance of healthy living. “You can carry a message back to your school about the importance of eating healthy meals,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said yesterday. “You have a partner at the Department of Agriculture to make meals better tasting and better for you.” However, the Mid America CropLife Association (MACA) — which represents agribusinesses like Monsanto, Dow AgroSciences, and DuPont Crop Protection — are unhappy that no chemicals are being used on the food....

Clutch those pearls! We're gonna talk to Iran!:

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Monday it would welcome constructive dialogue with six world powers, including the United States, in its clearest signal yet it will accept an invitation for talks on its disputed nuclear work.

I'm so sorry for Mr and Mrs Obama. He recently got a little puppy for his daughters and the whole country is analysing if he did it right (wouldn't you want the perfect puppy for your kids?)

Wake up, America! (nothing against the author of this blog, of course...)

That's okay. While Bush was pretending to be president I tried vainly to have Canada invade the US, but my harassing emails were ignored.

Nothing else we've done: wars, losing cities, shootings, has stirred us in our slumber. I won't mind if you guys just lean over and shake us. A few slaps to the face might work....
