La Alaskeña

Fact: America is chock-full of crazies. Fact: A lot of of these crazies hold government office.  Recently, Representative Cindy Davis of Missouri voiced her opposition to the free school lunches program for children, saying that hunger can be “a positive motivator.” Never mind that 1 out of 5 children in Missouri lives with hunger. Is your kindergartner hassling you for some string cheese? Well use that as a “positive motivator” and tell little Billy to start pounding the pavement looking for some honest work!

Fact: I love Keith Olbermann.

I like how instead of realizing that she sounds like a coldhearted antagonist from a Dickens novel, she just keeps digging herself in deeper. Ladies and gentlemen, people voted for this woman, a woman who would tell a hungry child to go get a job! Can she be impeached? Please?

Note: This is not an attack against the great state of Missouri. I fully admit that some of the craziest people in America are from Alaska, and that some of the craziest Alaskans hold political office. In fact, it seems that in Alaska, we prefer that our politicians be crazy.
