20% of our CORN CROP is now Ethanol, despite everyone with a brain agreeing it’s a really STUPID policy; world food prices are through the roof, in part because of this diversion; somewhat friendly governments in Egypt and Tunisia have been overthrown, in part due to food prices; Saudi Arabia and other big oil producers may be next.

...and why...because of the Iowa Caucuses.

MORE POWER TO FLORIDA!!! Maybe we can start buying real gasoline again if they pull this off.

Ethanol played absolutely no part in the total wipeout of the Chinese wheat crop this year.

China is the world's largest wheat producer BTW ~ except now they aren't.
