De Lauro is not only the ugliest woman on the planet, she is also the dumbest.

would require every person in the United States who grows food OF ANY KIND to register with the government

Do my back yard tomatoes count?

or

The apricot jam we make from our tree?

Under the current administration, this sort of blatant corruption will become more and more prevalent and blatant. In the socialist Utopia, all comrades are equal, but some comrades are a LOT MORE equal.

Back yard gardens:
I am reading this and it seems to me that ‘commerce’ wouldn’t include a back yard garden. Am I reading this right?

SEC. 206. FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITIES.
(b) Inspection of Records-
(2) to track the food in commerce.

IIRC isn’t this the same person who “rented” the basement of her home in Washington D.C. to Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s Chief of Staff.

The problem is that Emanuel never really paid any rent nor did he report this largesse on his income taxes as he is required to do by law.

I thought her husband was a pollster?

DeLauro is married to Stanley Greenberg, President of Greenberg-Quinlan Research, Inc., a public issues research and polling firm. Their children – Anna, Kathryn and Jonathan Greenberg – are all grown and pursuing careers. They have three grandchildren, Rigby, Sadie and Teo.

Here's her "husband".

Can't imagine what the kids look like.
