Should also take a look a how Letterman handled Sen Rand Paul last night. If only a journalist would get in his face like that.

Mart commented on the blog post Because Only the Sickest, Most Cynical Democrat [sic] Political Operatives Would Print T-Shirts for a Memorial Service
Everyone has their own way when it comes to funerals, and I work to mimic the behavior of the effected family. There have been plenty where I had a great time laughing with the family while remembering the best of times, and later cried with them when thinking about our loss. Does that make me immature? Does that show no respect for the deceased? Nobody ever gave me the rules, so hopefully you can direct me to the funeral etiquette page.

Mart commented on the blog post Coburn, DeMint Turn to Killing Corn Ethanol Subsidies
To be fair the dry and wet mill ethanol producers use only the tiny starch content of the corn seed to convert into fermentable sugar. Yeast eats the sugar, shits CO2 and corn beer. Beer is distilled in a column and purified in molecular sieves. Well over 95% of the seed still goes to feed (along with spent yeast beasts) – endosperm, oils, hull, etc. Not saying CO2 friendly, & doesn’t require millions of gallons of process water, doesn’t have a dirty coal powered co-gen electrical plant behind it, doesn’t require tons of fuel to plant crop, harvest, send to processing and truck to gas mix station (ethanol eats up pipelines), etc. But it does not take a significant amount of animal feed out of the system and the industry does provide jobs in the hard hit rural mid west.
I have seen stimulus $$ assigned to cellulosic ethanol – from stover and what not, and on bugs that shit oil, also, too. All is not lost…
