“Dear Michelle: Your Garden Is Missing One Vital Component. Pesticides.”
Some things El Somnambulo cannot make up. Those poor benighted souls at the Mid America CropLife Association want everyone to know that veggies w/o pesticides are like…Claymont w/o metallic soot. Or something like that.
Their ‘ambassadors’ (that’s what they call themselves) have written, and are urging all ambassadors to write Michelle Obama to show her the error of her ways in planting a (gasp!) organic garden at the White House, and having impressionable children buying into the concept:
While a garden is a great idea,the thought of it being organic made Janet Braun, CropLife Ambassador Coordinator and I shudder. As a result, we sent a letter encouraging them to consider using crop protection products and to recognize the importance of agriculture to the entire U.S. economy.
Now, ‘bulo cannot grow cactus, and he does not wish to be unfair, so please read the entire letter here.
And how can anyone go wrong with a site entitled “La Vida Locavore”?
Personal to the inhabitants of Winguttia: To show your disdain for all things environmental, please continue to ingest only the finest that our pesticides industry has to offer. Your Amigo, El Somnambulo.

Yes.
Show us liberals a thing or too about how stupid we are by having a big swig of aminopyralid.
Thanks!
Please also note that Big Ag did not give a shit when Laura Bush demanded that organic foods be used at the White House.
There was no “concerned” letters.
This double standard is malicious.
Thanks to Mike Castle and Tom Carper, those pesticides are tariff-free.
You had to remind me.
Wow. They really sent a letter like that. The children, what about the children! They may not appreciate all the great things our big agribusiness has brought us.
they cant appreciate. the damage to their nervous system from the pesticides has taken their ability to have emotions.
did anyone see 60 minutes last night? They have this awesome pesticide called Furidan. Like a tablespoon of it in it’s granular form can kill a whole pride of Lions that eat the dead carcus of a farmers cattle.
it also kills the birds, the hyenas, the leopards and anything else that ingests the contaminated carcus.
I think that is what she needs in her garden.
on a serious note: I wonder how many lobbyists dupont has sent out on this one
