Nice find, Spinn. By the way, the article you’re referring to is at this URL now: http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2007/06/04/fraud/index.html

Blitzkrieg, I am sorry but I do not understand your comment. What is the production of corn based ethanol attempting to do that is positive? The point of Brazilian sugar cane based ethanol is the point I was trying to make above. Why double spend money to promote a product that is more polluting and less efficient?

And I generally don’t define things as “good” or “bad” based upon “liberal” or “conservative.” Things ought to be judged as “dumb” or “slightly less dumb, but still dumb.” Corn ethanol = dumb.

Man, you can totally see where this is going, too. The Republican propaganda machine convinces its followers that Bush is a liberal, classifies him for all time with Carter and Clinton, and emerges unscathed.

I don’t quite get how Bush looks like a liberal?

Even the most rabid Republican has to face the fact that Bush is an utter failure. Since Republicans are perfect, Bush cannot be a Republican; since he is inept, he must in fact be a Liberal. Finally, since Republicans cannot be wrong, about anything, ever, Bush must have lied to them and have been a Liberal all along. It makes perfect sense if you were shaken violently as an infant and dropped often.

Oh, you mean the semi-decent things he has actually, on rare occasion, done. Maybe not Homeland Security, but yanno. Ethanol production is at least trying (though they could just buy it from Brazil now, help develop the third world and begin the process of conversion [i]while[/i] searching for cheaper methods of corn production.

But that would be blatantly liberal.

Farm bill, steel tarrifs, expansion of government (dept of homeland security, “war czars”), supporting subsidies for production of ethanol from corn to name a few.

That’s 3 blogs, with “Sadly, No!” in the middle. Damn commas.

I don’t know who Jonah Goldberg is, either, other than a frequent target of lefty snark-blogs like Alicublog, Sadly, No! and Instaputz (all of which I highly recommend).
