we hate what you've done with the place

to our great disappointment, the rachel maddow blog has changed formats, making it almost impossible to load on our ipad. even worse, when/if it finally does load, the top half of the page is all video stories, forcing us to scroll down several scrolls to finally get to steve benen's blog posts, which are all equipped with extra large headlines and big pictures, practically filling up one ipad screen per item. not easy to peruse.

along with greg sargent at the washington post (whose extra-large comment sections, chock full of trolling, makes it interminably long to load), steve will now be relegated to the "bloggers we once read daily but now will only be able to read when we are at our desktop computers what is this 2004?" department.

too bad...

disasters in the dakotas

1st it was the freak blizzard that hit south dakota, killings hundreds of thousands of cattle.

now it's a huge oil spill in a north dakota wheat field.
a farmer discovered a huge oil spill — several times bigger than the recent mayflower, ark., spill – nearly two weeks ago in north dakota. but because of federal government furloughs, we’re only just learning about it.- grist
why should we care about the dakotas' food?
there was one courageous south dakotan who cared about our nation's food and americans' access to it..



the disasters are too immense for the states to handle themselves. they need the governments help...and quick. senator mcgovern wouldn't call those farmers needing aid.."moochers"...senator mcgovern wouldn't call those needing snap benefits "moochers" like a current south dakotan politico.

if you haven't done so already, call your congresscritters and tell them to grow up and get the government going again. better yet, call senator thune's office and ask him if he has told those farmers affected by the shutdown and the disasters that "they are on their own."

congresscritters are frozen in d.c.

and thousands of south dakotans are truly frozen...and you probably haven't heard about it.
as many as 75,000 cattle have perished since the storm slammed the western part of the state thursday through saturday with snowfall that set records for the entire month of october in just three days, state and industry officials said.
... ranchers have no one to ask for help or reimbursement. that's because congress has yet to pass a new farm bill, which subsidizes agricultural producers.- nbcnews.com
of course, one of south dakota's senators is john thune (r), who apparently is more concerned about stopping americans from getting healthcare than he is for the welfare of his own constituents.
