Little ol' boy in the Panhandle told me the other day you can still make a small fortune in agriculture. Problem is, you got to start with a large one.

America's drug war is so stupid that if you pay close attention to just how stupid it is -- it'll drive you to use drugs.

Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.

It's hard to believe President George Bush gave a speech in New Orleans about disaster recovery and failed to mention the word 'farm' or the word 'rural.'

The real bias of the media is not to the left or to the right, but to the thin strata of economic elites at the top of our society.

Bush and the corporate kleptocrats have stomped on too many people and left too many people out of the system, and those people are now in rebellion. It's not just poor people they are holding down but the middle class, as well. I have a favorite bumper sticker I saw on a pickup truck last year in Austin. It said, "Where are we going? And what am I doing in this hand basket?"

The issue isn't just jobs. Even slaves had jobs. The issue is wages.
