Clinton says "Let them eat salsa!" Let's see if Ted Kennedy goes on the news to denounce the mean, uncaring Clinton administration. Okay, we know he won't because Dems are hypocrites. The networks will also ignore it because it doesn't fit their agenda. Salsa a veggie in school lunches A new Department of Agriculture rule means schools can receive federal reimbursement for meals that include salsa as one of the required nutritional components. But the salsa must be made from all-vegetable ingredients - no stabilizers - and be served in quantities of at least one-eighth of a cup. The theory goes that kids are more likely to eat salsa than broccoli. But recalling the firestorm that erupted in 1981 when the Reagan administration sought to count ketchup as a vegetable to meet budget cuts, a USDA spokeswoman was quick to declare the salsa ruling "has no budgetary implications." http://www.usatoday.com/news/washdc/nc1.htm Wrong. If schools can receive federal reimbursement for it then by definition it does have budgetary implications. Gee, and look at the requirement - at least 1/8 of a cup, that's one ounce! I never again want to hear any self-righteous liberal Dem bring up that ketchup story again. Unrepentent hypocrites.

Your response details the reasons I am probably way out-of-step for this thread. I love you, despite the fact that the following may sound critical: 1) On the malaise that existed on the thread. You almost deny that it happened. It was all a minor malfunction that had nothing to do with reality. It is gone. It was poooof. (This strikes me a a guarded, defensive position taken against real conflict.) 2) The Jill Jones poem. Your husband's interpretation sounds most logical. But is it logic that is the goal of poems? This lady was railing against The Pure Of Heart, an easily generalized condemnation of the righteous among us. The poem has feeling to qualify as a poem. The specifics of the target, is that really of substance? The foe seems to be the same one you crusade against in almost every post. How about "the pure in heart" being a threat to all of us? 3) Senior Hostels. Oh, god, what an abomination! Prunes and raisins seeking the softness of their ilk? I will look in during the next two months, possibly pipe in, but there is a monotonous repetition in the messages being reiterated. Fondly, gsm
