Quote:
Many parts of America, long considered the breadbasket of the world, are now confronting a once unthinkable phenomenon: food rationing.
Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply. There are also anecdotal reports that some consumers are hoarding grain stocks.
At a Costco Warehouse in Mountain View, Calif., yesterday, shoppers grew frustrated and occasionally uttered expletives as they searched in vain for the large sacks of rice they usually buy.
(Snip!)
The bustling store in the heart of Silicon Valley usually sells four or five varieties of rice to a clientele largely of Asian immigrants, but only about half a pallet of Indian-grown Basmati rice was left in stock. A 20-pound bag was selling for $15.99.
Spiking food prices have led to riots in recent weeks in Haiti, Indonesia, and several African nations. India recently banned export of all but the highest quality rice, and Vietnam blocked the signing of a new contract for foreign rice sales.
“I’m surprised the Bush administration hasn’t slapped export controls on wheat,” Mr. Rawles said. “The Asian countries are here buying every kind of wheat.”
(Snip!)
Mr. Rawles said it is hard to know how much of the shortages are due to lagging supply and how much is caused by consumers hedging against future price hikes or a total lack of product.
“There have been so many stories about worldwide shortages that it encourages people to stock up. What most people don’t realize is that supply chains have changed, so inventories are very short,” Mr. Rawles, a former Army intelligence officer, said. “Even if people increased their purchasing by 20%, all the store shelves would be wiped out.”
The Bush Administration, long putting other country over ours is now faced with this sort of a dilemma. What will be our Presidents response, if hurricane Katrina is any indication, we could be in for one of the worst food shortages ever.
I would advise everyone to stock on needed items, as it could get ugly before too long.

Undoubtedly, you already know what it is that I am referring. The statement by Hillary Clinton that she would obliterate Iran, that country attempted an attack on Israel with nuclear weapons.
Here is the snippet of the interview, that is coming up on Good Morning America.:
She did, however attempt to back off the statement on MSNBC:
My friends, this is nothing more than a page out the George W. Bush playbook. Was it not Hillary Clinton, when confronted by some facts about her policies, fly into a screeching premenstrual rage, about Barack Obama’s tactics being right out of the playbook of Karl Rove? Now, with the table’s turned and Hillary being under the gun, Hillary herself does the same exact thing, only notches up the rhetoric more. Yet, she gets a free pass, because she is trailing, because she is the underdog. Not from this writer she does not.
This Nation, for the last 6 years, has been in quagmire called Iraq. We were lead into this war, based upon intelligence that, in fact, was found to be false. Yet, this administration has continued to move the goal posts as to the reason we had to remain in Iraq. Yet our President in his stubbornness and blind allegiance to a totally flawed and poisonous political ideology has almost strained our Military to the point of almost breaking the back of those of whom we entrust our safety, our lives, our well being.
Now we have some so-called underdog Presidential candidate who is attempting to compare herself to Franklin D. Roosevelt, or John F. Kennedy, both paramount leaders in the annals of the history of America, all so she can attempt to appeal to those who think striking Iran might just be a good idea.
The tough reality is, that involving this country in another military escalation of this sort would do nothing more than further strain and possibly destroy what military we have left. This is outside of the scope of instituting a military draft. Not to mention, any sort of Military action, outside of the approval of the United Nations would result in further destabilization of that very region. Not to mention the United States relations with our allies in the region.
I am not sure exactly what Hillary Clinton is attempting to do, but it could spell the very end of her bid for the office of President of United States.

The North Carolina Democrat Party has canceled their debate.
Hillary agreed to appear, Obama did not, and of course, Hillary calls Obama a coward.
In other news, The Financial Times makes a case for Obama, and basically endorses the guy.

SOME OBAMA FANS ARE CROWING that they caught McCain without a flag pin. Perhaps he should oblige them by wearing one of these.
*snort* 
No, this isn’t a joke. I saw this earlier today, but because I figured it would get yanked, I did not blog on it.
But it seems it is still there. Believe it or not, some idiot kid, has recorded a threat to President of the United States. Of course, he’s a black kid, and a Obama supporter.
Now I’m not a big fan of the President, at all, nor his Political Party, But threats?!?!? Yikes! 
That’s totally crazy!
Doesn’t anyone remember the young lady who posted a threatening picture of the President on her website, and got a visit for the Secret Service? I have to wonder aloud, will they pay this kid a visit? Or will they let him skate because he’s….do I dare say it? because he’s black?
It should be an interesting story to follow, I am surprised that Fox News and the other Media outlets haven’t reported on this one yet.

Good grief, John McCain can’t even catch a break on Sunday. (Come to think of it, neither can I! 
)
Seems that The Washington Post has now put out another article on John McCain’s temper.
The McCain camp says it’s totally dishonest and misrepresents him.
In the Blogosphere, The left is breaking out the surrender hymnals and the defeatist scrolls and treating this piece as The Gospel According to St. WaPo. That is after offering their hourly prayers for the Obamassiah. You know, St. Magic Negro?
Even the Moderate Voice, which is supposed to be a moderate voice of reason in the Blogosphere, is accepting this article as gospel, maybe they should change their name to Liberal Voice, because any open minded Moderate would want to know the truth, before accepting something as Gospel.
The response on the right has been as expected, they’re crying "Foul!" and dismissing it as a liberal hit piece on John McCain. Which is to be expected.
My Take on it:
First off, I don’t know John McCain, So, I am not about to sit here and pronounce Judgement on someone, that I do not know. Second of all, I find it very disturbing that the Washington Post, which is a supposed to be a respectable news organization, would take an article like this, based upon half truths and gossip, and print them as fact. I would expect this from say, a DC Gossip Blog, like Wonkette, but from the Washington Post? Come on. They can do better than this. I feel that if the Washington Post wants to trash Senator McCain, trash him on his politics, trash him on his policy positions, but leave the gossip, the innuendo and the downright blatant stupidity to the National Enquirer, and other Magazines.

According to a MSNBC/McClatchy/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette poll.
Personally, I think people, at this point are just sick of it all and want it all to be over with. I know, that I am.
