If someone is smart enough or rich enough to eat organically grown food, then they are smart enough and rich enough to check to see where said organic food is grown/produced. Let's not waste our time and energy on this issue. I'm more concerned about the US not labeling genetically modified food, food that has been radiated, hormones and antibiotics in the food chain...to name a few.
I'm also concerned about things like sugar in toothpaste, parfum in about every cosmetic item, alum in baby and body powder, fructose corn syrup in items too numerous to list...not to mention such things as high unemployment, corrupt politicians, people losing their homes, people not receiving proper health (physical, mental and dental) care, underfunded schools, teachers not doing a good job of teaching...the scare tactics Homeland Security uses to frighten Americans into unquestioning obedience to stupid rules and regs...and the list goes on.
What we should do is make a list of issues that need to be addressed and prioritize them. Then, get to work. Seems to me we just flit from one 'hot' topic to another without getting much, if anything done or changed.
Schumer's visit was a smoke screen, a photo op, a con.
Why does the media waste its time on such...well...much ado about nothing.

"I am going to reunite the Conservative and Republican parties.?

Uh, has anybody tested this guy? He has got to be on some kind of drugs.

Just one more example of the TeaBaggerstan's American Taliban demonstrating that they 'won't play well with others'.

The reTHUGS made this 'bed' w/the far right and now they're surprised/'infuriated' to find out that not only are they going to be forced to 'lie in it', but...they might even be kicked outta the bed altogether after the primary.

Welcome to TeaBaggerstan a la NY 23, reTHUGs. Now, it's 'harvest time' to reap what you've sown. Just deserves for a decade of inflammatory rhetoric and encouraging aggressive ignorance/intransigence. Your LIV (low information voter) 'base' is about to bite you in the ass...again.

Works for me!

It is surprising to me that people are concerned about the produce coming from China, when all one has to do is read the labels for all the "organic" produce coming from both Mexico and Canada. According to the NAFTA treaty, all produce coming those countries only need to meet the standards of THOSE countries to be certified organic in the US. Some of those farms may be well managed and appropriately labeled - but for the most part this is not true.

BSS...What you say is true, but that does not mean you do not do what you can when you can. Not going to solve all the problems at once. Keep pushing.

Does this really surprise anyone? Where else can you get 7% interest in such a short time for your money and send some more work to your own firm. It is a great money maker AND ego booster for Hoffman, he will milk it as long as the Cult will follow him.

The leader of the most inept part of the most dysfunctional government in the nation wants to be judged on results?! Boy, some PR guy needs to get the ax ASAP.

I have to laugh at the concern about fake organics entering this country when there is only slight concern about MPC's coming into this country and displacing my conventional milk from my small dairy.Thus lowering the price that I receive for my milk. These MPC's are made from who knows what-completely unregulated and not inspected(years ago we heard that some was made from hand milked YAK milk). My farm has health inspections several times a year and every tank load is tested.

that Osprey photo is powerful

I think the stories main point is a bit absurd. Doug will win the primary hands down, he will unite the GOP,Conservatives, and Tea partiers. The Democrats dont stand a chance in November.

This is ridiculous to even talk about until after the primary is over. Doug Hoffman is going to win easily on the 14th, and win witth both the R and C lines in Nov.

What we need in Congress, in the State Assembly and Senate, are Republicans and Democrats who are willing to compromise, who are willing to draw upon the best ideas of each party rather than stick to narrow special interests. The underlying problem is redistricting - Gerrymandering - where districts are drawn by politicians which results in the squiggly districts, dissected communities and people with narrow views are returned again and again to office. Districts should be drawn by population and geography, not by political demographics. Until they are, the general public will suffer and faith in government will continue to decline.

I LOVE porch chair pictures! Thanks for sharing this one.

Lets see now. The choice is Doheny's Wall Street connections and money or Hoffmans out of State Tea Party money ( like the last time he ran )?
Farmer Bill looks better all the time.

I've been with hoffman from the beginning, and I am sticking with him. He is a real person, and that's what we need in Washington. GO HOFFMAN!

The only deterent that has every been found effective for pedophiles is based on the New Zealand model of restorative justice. It is a group conferencing model where the perp (in this case, Ortloff) would meet with a victim (the actual victim is never used) who recounts her (or his) experience of being victimized and the horror of that experience in his/her life. In this way, the perp eventually realizes that they cannot objectify their victims - that the victims all share the same deep pain. They learn of the ways the victimization has derailed the life of the victim and begin to see potential victims in the same light... as people, not objects to be used. UVM ran a conference several years ago - maybe 12 - that highlighted this therapeutic deterent to pedophilia and sexual abuse.

The only question that remains is will Hoffman drop out if he is defeated in a primary. Right now he appears to be losing. Main stream Republicans do not want him and his base seems to be eroding.

Maybe GM should fork over a settlement to all its former employees there. We were forced to go in the basements for take cover drills where most of the PCBS were. Years and years we were ensured by management and GM that the plant was clean.

What a lucky photo shot. Great color!
