I prefer Rosemary and Thyme

A recent study by the same university that gave us the global warming hoax has shown that oregano reduces methane emissions and increases milk production in cows.
We are saved!
One less greenhouse gas to worry about!
Have we tested the other spices too?

EPA vs The Amish?

Now that Comrade Obama is in charge, the EPA is coming down on the Amish.
They claim there are too many cows and too much manure.
Farm inspections by the government are rare in the Chesapeake Bay area of Pennsylvania, but have been ramping up lately.
The Bay is suffering from runoff issues that are supposedly due, in part, to Amish farming practices that include large piles of manure and a lack of buffers between effluent and waterways.
Things aren't as dark as that may make things seem though.
Unlike what you or I would experience, the EPA and government agencies are "working with" and "suggesting" instead of "fining" and "shutting down".
I guess they don't have a lot of leverage with farmers that don't suckle on the government teat and who have a public image that makes it risky to slap them around.
