He grew a Monsanto GM soybean and an almost identical conventional variety in the same field. The modified crop produced only 70 bushels of grain per acre, compared with 77 bushels from the non-GM one. The GM crop – engineered to resist Monsanto’s own weedkiller, Roundup – recovered only when he added extra manganese, leading […]

Write A Wind Power Letter To The Editor

Filed in National by on April 23, 2008 2 Comments

The News Journal is stonewalling the Harris McDowell story and people have asked me what we might do to get them off the dime. Writing a letter to the editor is a good place to start. They probably will not print it but if they get a bunch of letters asking about McDowell’s corrupt schemes […]

It Looks Like I’m Not The Only One Annoyed

I can take Obama losing Pennsylvania.  I can stomach a 9.4 margin.  I can even accept Hillary looking smug and spewing BS talking points about what her victory in PA meant.  What I have trouble coming to terms with is how the Obama campaign allowed the three Abercrombie and Fitch assholes on the platform last […]
