 And now, dear Al, you understand why W was recommending the use of switchgrass. How are those unintended consequences working out for you and the rest of humanity? Of course, if W saw this coming, so should you have, so it really wasn't an entirely unknown consequence. Gerbil Worming, however, would have been way worse, and would have had no mitigating excuses. |

And there you have it. Stupid, ignorant, and corrupt. |

| #1 So, Al, what you are saying is you pandered to Farmes in hopes of getting elected. The Tennessee Farmers didn't take the bait, you didn't win your "home" State. Dickweed. |
