Ahhh. Very nice. I've just been calling him Present Obama. I like the way you call attention to the missing letters better. I am adopting (stealing?) your style.

Obama: As president, I would implement USDA policies that promote local and regional food systems, including assisting states to develop programs aimed at community supported farms. I also support a national farm-to-school program and am pleased that the Farm Bill provides more than $1 billion to expand healthy snacks in our schools.

Getting geared up for the collective farming thing.

Thanks Gabz. I showed my First Wife the fish fry pie sales thread earlier and emailed it to our son as it is just a matter of a little time before FW is in jail for baking 40 to 60 dozen cookies a week in our home kitchen for our Free Coffee Bar for our customers at our business. She has been doing this for 25 years or more and not a death has been recorded mostly because I am the first line of defense as I sample every batch coming out of the convection oven.

What will be next...Family cookouts???

Good job, Gabz!

BUMP!

My computer has a virus, so if Husband can’t fix it tomorrow, I may be off for a while, plus I’m into 60 hour workweeks now. Grrrr! (I know; be GRATEFUL to have a job!)

Just to let y’all know I’m not ignoring this IMPORTANT issue..because it’s pretty much MY livelihood...

[familyop]

I’m reading through the bills now. They’re fresh, and we have plenty of time for write-ups on the truth of the matter. Don’t expect me to go easy on any faction that’s lying. ;-)

[familyop]

Here are some examples of the language that I’ll be looking for.

From the Senate version:

“`(b) Description of System- The traceability system required by subsection (a) shall require each article of food shipped in interstate commerce to be identified...”

[Regards “adulteration,” “misbranding,” etc.]

“`(1) IN GENERAL- A person (other than a household consumer)... “

So keep it clean, or else.
