How about making illegal immigration a felony? Right now it is a civil infraction and misdemeanor.Excellent point. It shows where the priorities are for turkeys like Leahy, they legislate the sale of fake syrup to be a felony.

I think they used to hang them in Great Britain if the were found to have added sugar to their beer brewing but I can understand that.

if leaky leahy is arguing about syrup this means he does not have time to screw up important issues.

I love real maple syrup but its around ten dollars for a small a bottle in these parts.
Maybe the occupy Wall Street hippies can demand lower price on Maple Syrup. /s
Of course it takes 5 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup.
In all honesty do we need the Senate to take up this?

He emabrrasses Vermont like Durbin does the people of Illinois....
As someone who loves VT, most of the NATIVES (most of the natives are slowly dieing or moving) hate both Leahy and Sanders. The people who voted for those MORONS are the New Vermont Citizens -- people from New York City who wants to get back to nature (by banning Success!!).
Vermont needs lots of Conservatives to move in to get Sanders and Leahy out!!

Growing up in NH one of my favorite smells is of a sugar house during the season. I used to go to my friends dairy farm that had a small sugar house. When sugar season came around in February and March we always ended up at the sugar house after running around the farm. After drinking cold maple sap from the galvanized buckets lining the large trees, we got hot syrup in pill cups straight out of the evaporators. Heaven!

That should be 40 gallons.

Selling fake maple syrup should be a capital crime.
When I wake up in the morning, I want real maple syrup, not some corn syrup confection.
Patrick Leahy is right on this one.
To: jazusamo
A felony? You have to be kidding. This sounds more like a civil thing than a criminal action?

Great drawing. I love the little boy with the horn.
But I thought they were actually tied horizontally to a rail, not sitting up like that.

Mrs. P2 and I both like “the real thing”, but pronunciation is a deep chasm.
