Select CHEESE: The Inaugural Edition
The stiffs at Blogivists.com have asked me to write a run-down of what’s hot, of what’s noteworthy in the community on a weekly basis. Naturally, I said yes, so expect just that every Thursday or Friday under the title ‘Select CHEESE’. Yes, ‘Select CHEESE’ – the Cheeseman’s take on what should be mandatory reading. Aspire for it!

What’s happening on this beautiful Friday afternoon…
Before I forget, remember to wish RightWave a belated birthday. As a gift, perhaps someone will grant Wave’s wish of getting rid of the Farm Bill. According to the latest post, it’s clear Mrs Clinton doesn’t have any plans to.
“I believe saying no to the farm bill is saying no to rural America.”
Haha…I’m sorry, it’s just great comedy.
For those of not familiar with the long, wasteful, headache-inducing history of the Farm Bill, Subtle as a Sledgehammer breaks it down for you all in The Farm Bill, The Farm Bill, The Farm Bill. Living in this post-modern world, I appreciate his old-fashioned identity theory:
They pay the farmers not to farm!! If they are farmers who do not farm, what are they?
Yes, a $307 billion dollar package full of pork…if there’s one thing that the Farm Bill isn’t, it’s transparency. And Congress better shape up or ship out ’cause Americans dig honest, open government.
Thank you Cozcommunio for the perfect case in point…
A 19 year-old college freshman has been elected the Mayor of Muskogee, Oklahoma. Not kidding…he defeated a 3-term former mayor who outspent him 10 to 1. How? A platform of transparency and open government.
Awesome.
