Well…just as I think that the repubs can’t sink any lower…they come up with a way to do it…just this past week, the house repubs that are working put this little stunner into the ag bill…first a little background…in many “urban” environments, most of the children there get free breakfasts and lunches during the school year since their parents make so little money…and, some of those programs have been continued into the summer to make sure the kids have enough to eat…what the nasty repubs have just done in the ag bill is insert a little clause that said that no “urban” areas will be eligible for funding for summer lunch programs but that rural areas will continue to be funded…basically saying that we are going to let your children starve if you live in an urban area since you don’t vote for us anyway and the reason your children are hungry is that you are a lazy “taker”…not like the rural areas where it is a lack of jobs that is keeping children hungry. This is just the latest manifestation of the Paul Ryan hatred and contempt for the people that live in cities since they are not “real” Americans like those who live in small towns or rural areas….my outrage can’t be overstated here…using the power of government to punish children for being born into the “wrong” families…heartless bastards…still…geez…

Is Michelle Malkin a human being?
Well…normally, I wouldn’t even concern myself with the half-baked nonsense that Michelle Malkin writes since her screeds make my brain hurt when I read them….but, today, I just had to comment on her downright gleeful take on the struggles of the L.A. school district to supply better meals to the children that go to school there. She deems the whole venture to upgrade the lunches a failure since the children “voted with their stomachs” and liked the old high-fat meals of pizza and chicken nuggets better. Of course kids are going to like the food they have been taught to like through billions of dollars of advertising…and I do admit that high fat, fried foods taste good, but to not even try to stem the obesity epidemic would be a gross abandonment of our responsibilities as adults and the only thing Michelle Obama is trying to do is to use her voice to try to educate people on how to eat better for a healthier life. But, as always, ole Michelle sees it as a sinister plot to have the government take over all aspects of everyone’s life but then throws in that the program in L.A. is a failure because they have provided health benefits for part time cafeteria workers. Geez, Michelle, who taught you to hate so much? Just another shill for the right wing conspiracy to take everything from the 99% and give it to the 1%…
