If we burn our food in our gas tanks, what are we going to eat? DUH! This just demonstrates how dumb our lawmakers are with Rep Dingell being at the head of the moron list. The only real supporters were the farmers and the Chicago Board of Trade as they saw a way to enrich themselves from it.

We haven't built a refinery in 30 years. Oil companies have stopped searching for more oil. I don't care about high food prices. I need a diet anyway. The only way to stop these liberals is to starve them. I headed out to get my seed for the victory garden. The dog is going to have to fend for herself.

Far too many idiots walk around with a little bottle of water for 1.50 and they are worried about a whole bushel of corn at 6.00.

What a bunch of pathetic whiners as are the politicians such as McCain who listen to them.
