The Monsanto protection act, a fun little piece of corporate pork that makes GMO's immune to lawsuits.  We really aren't even pretending to be anything but a corrupt corporatocracy are we?

India's about to say "fuck it" and toss them out anyway.

Is anyone surprised? I feel like this is par for the course at this point.
"I dispose of obsolete meat machines.  Not because I hate them (I do) and not because they deserve it (they do), but because they are in the way and those older ones don't meet emissions codes.  They emit too much.  You don't like them and I don't like them, so spare me the hysteria."

It's pretty fucking disheartening.

It's very popular with the "Conservatives" over at the Shroomery.

Terrific idea. Gotta protect those serious business men from delusional hippies, and deadbeat farmers, you know.

This is why the shroomery is too retarded to even troll.

They're conservative drug freaks.

They got The Coalition of Navel Gazing Earth Spirits, The Minarchist Libertarian Corporation Liberation Front, and a bunch of kids who just think boycotting stuff is gay.

Also, "scientists".

This is going to be one of those NDAA type things, with just enough ambiguity in the text to allow for dueling pseudo-analyses. Probably have to wait a week or two for a sound analysis to appear anywhere. I know it's the fuck over my head so I'll just wait patiently for someone to tell me what it is I'm thinking about, before hearing any of the opinions on what I should think about it.

The fact that it was attached to the continuing resolution though, is pretty goddamned cute. That does tie Obama's hands more than a bit there.

What that says is "This wasn't Obama's fault"  Which is true, doesn't change the fact that it is fucked up.
