Biotech versus Organic

Or, GMOs. Haha. Sounds pretty scary, doesn’t it.

Turns out, much of the food we buy is modified in some way. And that’s not a bad thing. Biotechnology helps to make farmland more productive and the food we eat healthier, bigger, and better tasting.

I know, you heard about all the good things “Organic” foods bring to the table.

Turns out, the only good Organic food does is put money in a Marketer’s pocket. In fact, if you watch this video called, “What’s For Lunch?“, you’ll see that because of the price differences, traditional “non-organic” produce is probably better because it makes fruits and vegetables more affordable.

Watch the video then let me know what you think: http://www.monsanto.com/biotech-gmo/asp/guests.asp?id=WhatsForLunch

If you need even more proof that Obama and his surrogates just “don’t get it” as Jose Biden likes to say; I’ve got one more for you…

Turns out George Clooney is headlining a fundraiser for Obama in Geneva. The Reuters article arcs about 9 lanes out of it’s way to point out that the event was being held for “Americans”. Yeah, right.

That’s why the event was being held 8000 miles away. I may be a fool, but I’m not retarded!

Now, this is the type of thing that will appeal to about 4% of the American population (the limousine liberals who think Europe is the way to go) - and turn OFF the other 96%.

This will will get Obama money, but not votes.

Just more proof that the Europeans want the U.S. to have this guy as President. And just one more reason not to vote for him.

Gas prices are high enough, and OPEC wants us to believe that the way to bring those prices down is to stop using domestic biofuels. Yeah, right.

This is like putting a fire out by pouring gasoline on it (if you happen to have some extra laying around).

Fortunately, the World BioFuels Industry has published an open letter to OPEC (and the rest of us) refuting these baseless claims. I just hope people pay attention. We can’t continue to demagogue biofuels, and let the foreign lobbyists control the conversation.

Check out the article on GoodFuels here: www.goodfuels.org/opec

As if the story on gas couldn’t get any worse, it turns out that a carcinogenic chemical called MTBE is added to gasoline to make it burn more efficiently. I guess this is the oil industry’s attempt at going “green”.

This information comes courtesy of a blogger I read who says the solution may be Ethanol. Hey, as long as this doesn’t negatively affect the price of my Gin, I’m for it!

Better yet, ride a bike!

I don’t know which is worse, the fact that the resistance in Iraq carries out these suicide attacks, or that they have such disrespect for the people who do their dirty work.

Read this piece on Time’s site: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1817158,00.html?xid=rss-topstories

This whole thing is bad enough. But of course the conservative bloggers are coming out of the woodwork to claim that progressives support this kind of thing. JournalingDavid.com just ran a piece shredding another blogger who was horrified by this tragedy. I don’t think he even bothered to read the whole article before jumping to the conclusion that anyone would support this stuff.

You can see his post here: http://www.journalingdavid.com/?p=4

Of course, he also posted a gruesome picture of the female suicide bomber. Maybe that was just to increase the “shock and awe”.

Evening news got you down? Depressed watching “Reality” TV?

Your problem could be that you’re getting too much reality. Try a little fake news instead.

The Onion (www.theonion.com) features some great fake news coverage and commentary with a definite left-wing bend. The site deals with real topics, but with fake stories.

Ever get amused at some of the stupid stories your local news station covers? Then you’ll really enjoy their story, Escaped Caterpillar On Rampage Through City (http://www.theonion.com/content/news/escaped_caterpillar_on_rampage).

Are you getting addicted to the current Presidential Race? They have a whole section of fake political coverage here www.theonion.com/content/whitehousewar.

Happy surfing!
