You’re misreading the statement. The USDA has realized that Cook County, IL is a disaster area. Eventually, the rest of the nation will be as well.

Seriously, I wonder what Ag subsidies I am entitled to.

Well, not that it’s her fault, but hopefully this will work against Blanche Lincoln and we can be rid of her. There is no reason Arkansas (or Nebraska, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Louisiana or North Carolina) should have liberal senators, but they do!

From your lips to God’s ears. It’s a mystery to me how this state votes for Republican President’s (except for Bubba) and keep voting in Dem libs everywhere else. I so wish Blanche “blank stare” Lincoln would be sent packing, along with Mark Pryor, Vic Snyder, Mike Ross and the whole slimy liberal bunch.
