For more children, dinner is coming from Uncle Sam May 9 02:03 PM US/Eastern Comments (0) Email to a friend Share on Facebook Tweet this Bookmark and Share BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) - More low-income school kids could soon have access to free nutritious dinners. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is offering reimbursements for meals served to at-risk kids in after-school programs in 13 states and the District of Columbia. This year the program expanded to Vermont. The USDA says about 49,000 children benefit from the after-school meals each day. Officials say the need is growing. A USDA report says the number of Americans who live in food-insecure households rose to 49 million people in 2008. That's up from 36 million in 2007. The report defines food-insecure households as homes that at times don't have enough nutritious food. The report says 16.7 million children were among those living in such households in 2008. what a waste of money, Greece here we come

UT-02: Matheson Forced Into A Primary Absolutely shocking news out of Utah on this Saturday, courtesy of the go-to source for election junkies: the Swing State Report. Democratic incumbent Congressman Jim Matheson, who has held down a House seat in the uber-red state of Utah for a decade, was forced into a primary this afternoon at the Democratic State Convention. Matheson drew 55% of the convention vote, while challenger Claudia Wright nailed down the support of 45% of the delegates. Convention rules dictate that a primary will occur if a candidate fails to attain 60% of the head-to-head convention vote. This is yet another sign (following closer-than-expected primaries for Heath Shuler and Larry Kissell) that the Democratic base is not going to be as accommodating about conservative Democrats as they have been in the past.
