ALL produce and meat is rotting when you buy it, unless it is still attached to the living tree, vine, chicken, or cow--spoilage can be slowed, but it cannot be prevented or reversed.  Walmart has hired hundreds of thousands of welfare, food stamp, and Medicaid recipients--the people we tell to go to work to reduce the...more

Jaws, you said that a landline would be good enough for a person so poor that they needed food assistance.  I pointed out that perhaps they have a cell phone because they have no "land" to connect their "line" to.  Some of the poor carry what many call "Obamaphones" (even though the program started under Bush in 2007) ...more

You must be leading a charmed life.  I hoped to see that chick a second time, but I never did.  I'm sure it was Zoe Saldana, but now she's talking about raising her children with another woman, so I guess I've missed my chance...

Approximately one in every seven SNAP recipients is homeless.  Can they come by your place and plug in that landline?  We'll be needing your address, too.

Hang in there, Roxanne.  SNAP is a $74 billion annual subsidy to big agri-business, which the newer Republican members of Congress are about to learn, to their sorrow.  All these foods that people above are objecting to contain high-fructose corn syrup, so the main target of cuts becomes Archer Daniels Midland, not you...more

Appropriations for disaster relief are controlled by the House of Representatives, not by the executive branch.  As it has been pointed out, Alaska is a Republican-dominated state, and the same party currently controls the House, so I imagine they will get around to aiding these natives eventually--look how long it too...more

Another law with absolutely no chance of having any effect.  As long as cars have tinted glass in the windows, no one who is supposed to enforce this will know a driver is holding a phone up to their ear, anyway.  The only person who knows is the guy in front of the cell user, who sees it in the rear-view mirror just b...more

Jupiter, the city in Florida, or Jupiter, the planet?  (I gotta get rid of as many of these as I can, if he's gonna start shrinking...)
