The wonderful Gail "!" Collins of the NY Times writes this morning in "The Fat Bush Theory":
"(W)e sure do have a lot to look forward to in the future, people. There's new federal spending on biofuels. Much of this is for ethanol, which has the unfortunate side effect of creating more greenhouse gases than it eliminates, and, of course, helping to create a planetary crisis over rising food costs."Meanwhile, "Across Globe, Empty Bellies Bring Rising Anger":
"Saint Louis Meriska’s children ate two spoonfuls of rice apiece as their only meal recently and then went without any food the following day. His eyes downcast, his own stomach empty, the unemployed father said forlornly, “They look at me and say, ‘Papa, I’m hungry,’ and I have to look away. It’s humiliating and it makes you angry.”"What else can one say?
