The Mulch Blog Steps Up

For those of you crazy enough to still be following the farm bill, going over to the Mulch Blog is worth your while. Over there, Ken Cook (of Environmental Working Group fame) is following the action, particularly in regards to payment limits (also AGI limits, if you know what I'm saying). We've lost our farm bill blogging mojo for now, but I can guarantee we'll be back at some point to take some shots at the final product. We'll call it like we see it regarding the issues we feel qualified to pass judgement on, and none of this "well it's not perfect but it really is pretty good, considering" stuff we're already starting to see from certain corners. A Mr. John Crabtree of the Center for Rural Affairs home office likes to refer to that as "typical progressive nonprofit happy horses--t when they get their butts kicked". Actually, come to think of it, Mr. Crabtree has various colorful appellations for all of the stages of the political and policy-making process, none of which are suitable for the better sort, which we most certainly are not.

Anyway, go on over and read up.
