Um Abdullah, in her hot clothing, with no education and a state that enforces hatred against another state, is pushing it uphill.

This article, really a push piece for Mrs. Obama, fails to point out that she was (and may still be) ignorant of how things grow. It fails to point out that her "garden" was a flacks idea to make her look good to the American public. It doesn't tell us how much taxpayer money she spent getting the disasterous "garden" to grow, nor who had to be hired and how much that cost, to fix her screw up. I am sure she is a personable woman and wants to promote her husband in any way she can. That isn't a fault, considering how many men and women do NOT support their spouses today.

But the article is full of writing that only seems to exist to let us know how wonderful Obama is, how evil the Israeli defenders of their homeland are and how much nicer it would be if we helped this country's Arab detractors destroy it.

 Please, Grist, play fair as you did when I first found you years ago. Back the true issues and don't try to cover up intent with puff pieces.

Just sayin'

Massachusetts is heavily Democratic. The kind of tactics you describe seem to be deployed when a citizen with a real concern wants to speak as shown by other "Town Hall" meetings.

I guess it's easier to jail 'em than to listen to 'em. 

Not one single about the real future facing the U.S. Just accept it or get "skull-F**ked". How sad there is not one, single word about what the truth of twenty years from will be. A once proud nation kneeling down to its overlords and begging for "more".

Political strategists are far from even being able to guess, let alone predict, what horrors the present administration has in store for them ... and us. Combine BO with GB and you have disaster for the America we loved and cared for and success for the one worlders who are doomed to failure. The roses are available. Smell them please.

Tasermans Partner, the unhappy relationship here is that government paid for milk is dumped willy nilly down storm drains, in irrigation ditches and on perfectly good crop lands. No, it doesn't "sweeten" that land, either.

You bet it has to do with ecology.

And it behooves all of us to be aware of the dangers involved in mega corporations controlling any of our foods.

"A liberal outpost in red Texas...." and this means what?

Senior Editors need to scan very carefully when apprentice writers are at work. There are other faux pas, but such a prime example needs to be recalled.

Oh, yes. Here's a woman who doesn't care too much about the environment, who is anti white men, who is a blatant racist and dislikes being analysed by people "beneath" her.

We should hope she gets to be a Supreme Court Justice?

I gotta get me some of that weed y'all are smoking.

I hear you, Aquaken. I'm with Paul Krugman,  too.  And , yes, I am Democrat.

I also find Kate Sheppards style of writing reminiscent of the irresponsible attacks of newspapers in the 1800's and 1900's. It's snide, it's condescending and it's wrong, wrong, wrong.

Insulting another person's beliefs is NOT the way to change them.

Aha! Maybe she's really a Republican in our midst? Wouldn't surprise me. Are you, Kate?

I find it difficult to understand why Grist would put such a poor, amateurish hodge podge together other than to create enmity among the only two political  groups now capable of electing a President? This should be a time of uniting, not dividing.

If a person's political stance is of such importance that shallow, personal attacks are the modus operandi of Grist, then perhaps its purpose should be more deeply inspected by those of us of the Democrat Party.

In these trying times, I would suggest we all remember E Pluribus Unum.

"Universal Feeding school lunch program"?

Philadelphia wants to feed the world's school children?

Oh, BTW, whatever happened to kids taking their lunch to school in brown paper bags? Those bags Moms used to fill with nutritious and wholesome food? At very low cost. And sharing your lunch with kids who had "forgotten" theirs?

Now, it seems, the nanny society doesn't think moms and dads should work and supply breakfasts and lunches to their kids. Hey, folks, if you can't afford to feed them, just stop getting preggers.

Do we ever have any statistics supplied on the households who "can't afford" to feed their own children? Bet it would be interesting.

I sincerely hope this a misprint: "Latin American...." I hope she is an American, even born in the USA. 

But I will never favor her being seated on the court, because this lady wants to take our guns away from us. And I have serious doubts about her really serving our conservationist aims. 

I cannot believe that such a potentially deadly and serious issue is being reduced to party politics on your pages. You who are guilty of this may hang your heads in shame.  The subject is way beyond your puny politics.

As for Dash RIPROCK III, perhaps he might get someone to edit his/her copy. He/she is an embarrassment to the movement.

If he/she is using English as a second language, then the editors should help this person out.

Coal

I'm sure you are right about coal being a dire threat to us all. But on the other hand (you've read Terry's book) coal doesn't give off any bad things when it is just sitting there. Your car DOES.

"...gutters that catch, direct and store all that water!" The cities in Australia all have many homes equipped with storage tanks that catch rain water. It's used, primarily, for laundry and watering gardens and grass. Unfortunately Brisbane, and much of the rest of the country, is undergoing the most severe drought it has ever seen. Years of drought.
Bullet proof glass roofs? I'm not an architect, but I would guess the support for this kind of roof, plus the solar panels, would mean an entirely new kind of construction. And the cost would be astronomical.
I refer the other parts of your post to the late John F. Kennedy:
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".On My presidential platform calls for clean air and no war. What about yours? posted 2 years, 6 months ago 23 Responses
