Bush must've added a "Food" dial to his gigantic machine that also controls gasoline prices, hurricanes, the number of homeless people, and the global climate.

You're making fun, but they DO see everything as controlled from the "top down", and have no concept of bottom up control by the free market.

I know. That's one of the things that absolutely frustrates me the most. I'm not Pres. Bush's biggest fan....but if I'm going to assign blame (for instance, for the fact that milk is expensive), then I'll at least put it in the right place (not President Bush).

How angry must these people be to spend their lives shouting at the rain?
