The most transparent administration evah continues to be, well, as clear as mud.
Rep. Charles Rangel reportedly has struck a deal with the congressional panel investigating alleged ethics violations.
A deal. What kind of a deal we don't know, but this begs the question - WHY? The man that sat as Chairman of the Ways and Means committee is up on tax violation and ethics charges. That committee deals with, um, TAXES, among other things. And he's getting a deal?? Didn't San Fran Nan suggest that she was prepared to "drain the swamp" recently?

"We're only gonna raise taxes on the top 2% of wage earners, those folks making $250,000 or more." - Barack Obama
With all due respect, bullshit.

It is now more than 200 years since the great astronomer William Herschel observed a correlation between wheat prices and sunspots. When the latter were few in number, he noted, the climate turned colder and drier, crop yields fell and wheat prices rose. In the past two years, sunspot activity has dropped to its lowest point for a century. One of our biggest worries is that our politicians are so fixated on the idea that CO2 is causing global warming that most of them haven't noticed that the problem may be that the world is not warming but cooling, with all the implications that has for whether we get enough to eat.
It is appropriate that another contributory factor to the world's food shortage should be the millions of acres of farmland now being switched from food crops to biofuels, to stop the world warming, Last year even the experts of the European Commission admitted that, to meet the EU's biofuel targets, we will eventually need almost all the food-growing land in Europe. But that didn't persuade them to change their policy. They would rather we starved than did that.
Harvests of many crops will be lower this year due to Global Cooling. To force people to starve so that an evil cabal of tree huggers and farmers can profit is immoral. We need to stop buring our food. How anyone can support ethanol is beyond me?
