First, nuttynewstoday.com. This item is especially tragicomic

.......when you contemplate one of the totally artificial ingredients the writer randomly cites as replacements. Note the extreme irony of the first use listed for this one:

Namely as a "feedstock" -- not for farm animals much less humans but "for the production of unsaturated polyester resins". No doubt, those resins will be the most elegant nourished on the planet after eating this stuff -- but what's happening to the human diet meanwhile? This seems like a good tie to mention my favorite soft drink ingredient of all, via a can of orange pop from the dollar store -- "glycerol ester of wood rosin." Wonder why it isn't sold in spice shops?
......I think we've heard the next two subjects before, but isn't it good to at least see them making news again -- the second via newsoftheweird.com:

As a service to taxpayers, the IRS's longtime policy is to pay tax refund claims promptly and only later to refer the refund files for possible audits and collection, in the event of overpayments or fraud. This policy, though, means that ordinary taxpayers are treated better than the nation's wounded warriors who file disability claims with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA's assumption seems to be that wounded veterans are cheating -- and thus most veterans receive at least five evaluations, and each one reviewed over a several-year period, before full benefits can be awarded. (Even though some temporary financial relief is available before final determination, veterans complain that the amount is almost never enough for complicated rehabilitation programs and other support.)

The Continuing Decline of American Manufacturing: A Drug Enforcement Administration agent told the Associated Press in October that factories in Mexico have recently been supplying American markets with especially potent and inexpensive methamphetamine. "These are sophisticated, high-tech (businesses) ... that are operating with extreme precision," said agent Jim Shroba. The 90 percent-pure product offers "a faster, more intense and longer-lasting high." Many Americans, meanwhile, continue to make small batches of inferior meth in 2-liter soda bottles.

In case you missed it previously, here's a good, healthy link on politics and economics. In Columbia there stands a great organization called the South Carolina Policy Council. Dr. Clarkson informed me our mutual friend Dr. Henry Jordan was instrumental in getting it going. Here is its president at work pressing for resolution of at least some of the mammoth corruption bedeviling the Palmetto State:
