I found this to be kind of funny. Some agribusiness trade group has asked
Michelle Obama to think of using pesticides when planning her organic
garden. I can understand this trade group sending Michelle a letter
privately but they also made this letter public. Since Michelle's garden
will inspire a lot of people to get into gardening this year, it takes a
lot of gall to try and promote your pesticide industry when a little
dishwater soap and water works just as well. If lobbyists are this petty
I can only wonder what Michelle's husband has to deal with on the real
issues. Oh well, here's the link:

President Obama has been president for three months and all the
financial problems are being blamed on him by the fantical, maniacle,
ridiculous talking heads like Rush, the vapid Laura Ingraham, Sean
Hannity, Tammy Bruce and the yappy, yapaho Anne Coulter. What a
bunch.


Rush is an entertainer, not an elected official or news reporter. I'm not
surprised at anything he says. No, Sean is against the current massive
spending and subsequent both obvious and not so obvious taxation to support
that spending. He acknowledges that Bush and his administration left the
current administartion with a big mess. And, has left people's ears sore
from his opinion on that part. So, I think is being fair in his opinions.

Anne, well, I don't agree with alot she has to say. Know nothing of this
Laura.

I still remember when Monsanto said Round-Up was safe as table salt.
While it is not the most toxic pesticide, that would be atrazine, it
is still found heavily polluting our lakes and streams.

Apparently you know about the frogs and salamanders that were deeply
affected during reproduction by Roundup use in Austin area. First time I
heard you say squat about it. Congratualations. I hope my assumptions are
correct.

I read the letter. Where do pesticides come in regarding the letter?
