And maybe you haven't noticed, but Bush isn't president any more (it
was in all the media, even the "liberal" sort).

GE's CEO Immelt chairs Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.

You say that like you think Obama is a liberal.

He is a modern liberal. He's also a modern conservative.

There's no practical difference.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And it¹s not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. That¹s hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they don¹t get away with no taxation.

Ever watch the BBC sitcoms "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime Minister"?

No, but at your suggestion, I just ordered "Yes Prime Minister" from
Netflix. It has good reviews. Right now we are wallowing in Commissario
Montalbano, Commissario Guido Brunetti, and Detective Kurt Wallander,
thanks to http://www.mhznetworks.org/ .

I take it you have not watched either version of the movie "Invasion of

I think the most correct term would have been 'anthropogenic
superweeds', or maybe forced evolution superweeds.

Ahh, so a bunch of late night drunks talking trash again?

In addition to Glycines. Palmer Amaranth is also resistant to:
selected ALS-inhibiting herbicides.
acetolactate synthase inhibitor
imazethapyr and thifensulfuron.
dinitroaniline herbicides

Also according to weedscience.org there are ~ 365 unique herbicide
resistant biotypes. Palmer A. doesn¹t even make the 10 worst weeds.
So to say Monsanto is responsible for creating a ³Superweed² is pure
BS, somewhere along the lines of the Salem Witch trials and WMDs in
Iraq. Ya don¹t even have to believe weedscience, try running a
search for Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) for yourself instead
of listening to some writer who got lucky enough to have their story
told and retold enough times to make a mainstream news mag and then
referenced for a late night fringe group.

http://www.weedscience.org/WorstWeeds.GIF

Nice list. Are you saying that these also developed resistance to
glyophosphate?


Might try saying its an important organic food foodstuff again and see
if the organic movement will buy it!

Where did I say that, gunny?

(usual political propaganda snipped)

Gunny, you have obviously lost your mind. Take up your problem with
Bloomberg Business Week.

From what I'm reading, this Pigweed (Amaranthus palmeri),
is just like any other pigweed except that it's herbicide
resistant. *There's nothing "super" about it.

Too bad for the farmers, they're back to paying someone to pull
this stuff by hand. *Depending on how you look at it, that's either
good or bad. *I suppose bad for the farmers and anyone that wants
inexpensive goods. *Good for farm workers and anyone afraid of
Glycophosphate.

Interesting to read that Pigweed is edible and could be a crop.

Quelites de las aquas was an important dietary staple the Sonoran
Desert people back in the day. Still today many varieties are an
important food and cereal crop in parts of the world. The
fearmongers are the BLMs (Be Like Me) propaganda writing and then
pretending that because it is written so mote it be.
