Professor Cornpone Ethanol lobbyist Newt Gingrich and us—and the future of the GOP

The former Speaker blew through Des Moines last Tuesday for the Renewable Fuels Association summit, and his keynote speech to the ethanol lobby was as pious a tribute to the fuel made from corn and tax dollars as we've ever heard. Mr. Gingrich explained that "the big-city attacks" on ethanol subsidies are really attempts to deny prosperity to rural America, adding that "Obviously big urban newspapers want to kill it because it's working, and you wonder, 'What are their values?'"

Apparently I'm big city folk here in my 150 person metropolis because I don't like the subsidies either. Aside from a few big farms, most farmers around here aren't thrilled with the subsidies either.

Newt has outlined a solution on 2.50 a gallon gas. He supports drill here and drill now.
Maybe I will go see if any ethanol companies support RS
