Everybody on board the loony train!

Geez, can ya get more obvious? AP headline: Republicans block nutrition bill:

WASHINGTON – House Republicans have temporarily blocked legislation to feed school meals to thousands more hungry children. Republicans used a procedural maneuver Wednesday to try to amend the $4.5 billion bill, which would give more needy children the opportunity to eat free lunches at school and make those lunches healthier. First lady Michelle Obama has lobbied for the bill as part of her "Let's Move" campaign to combat childhood obesity.

Speaking of children, take a look at what Ann Althouse says about Sarah Palin; farther down the post is commentary about her children. 

The ratings are up for "Sarah Palin's Alaska." Oh, that's so sad for the people who exulted last week when the ratings were down. I skipped last week myself, but I watched this week's show. It was pretty cool seeing the Palins hauling in fish nets, slicing salmon into strips, tying the strips with string, and hanging them up in a smokehouse, with Todd's Eskimo grandmother demonstrating how to set up the fire to get the smoke just right.

Meanwhile, where they gonna get the dough to pay for black reparations the Senate just voted in?

RUSH: By the way, that number of 84,000 black people? That's still climbing, the number of people are gonna collect on this Pigford stash.  And when that suit was originally brought, the suit claimed 2,000 black farmers were affected.  That number went from 2,000 to 85,000, and it's still climbing.
