Like a kid in a candy store.

The libs’ heads are exploding the morning. Between this, Romney tied with The One after only 6 months, the “career is over” Palin only 6 points behind, Rasmussen poll, WaPo poll... LOL

The Lakeside Foods canned pork is being used in the USDA commodity foods program. I'm betting the other food products are too.

Drudge is doing the work because Drudge is a real journalist. The ones on tha tee vee have moved into the celebrity class of entertainers and sellers of luxuries.

CANNED hams. CANNED beans. CANNED FOOD.

They are storing away food in underground shelters.

In case of a catastrophe, or national riots, the elite will have a place to hide.

I have an acquaintance who owns a construction business. He has $7M in won bids for municipal construction projects that will bring the towns into EPA compliance for separating storm sewers from sewage lines so raw sewage doesn’t get into the water shed. These projects are going on all across the US.

Here’s the kicker. Cities who were planning to issue bonds and finance these projects locally are not starting the projects in hopes of getting stimulus money. He has had to layoff ~50 workers and will likely lose the whole summer of business and productivity BECAUSE OF Porkulus.
