And these are the people who run the country...scary

Today it was reported that Senator John Sununu recently made a statement that Iowa corn should be being diverted from ethanol to food. Hmmm...that's a very interesting proposal, John, but corn used for fuel production isn't the kind you'd eat. I'm not even an agro-scientist and I know that.

Sounds like pandering platitudes to me, all under the guise of being eco-friendly. Oh yes, because the Republicans are so well-known for their eco-friendliness. Not that it's not possible, it is...but this is really lame. This is the kind of horse hockey that politicians are so good at. Promoting "brilliant ideas" and wasting taxpayer money. It's enough to make you sick. How about trading those corn subsidies for exploring and producing clean, renewable energy, like solar, hydrofuels or other such sources so that we stop killing our planet?
