Now that our food crisis is more or less official, scientists are strongly urging that we take the emphasis off of biofuel production, because decreasing our use of products like ethanol would cut corn prices by 20 percent.

So, of course, it is only fitting that our fearless leader is finally coming around to tell us that he is in favor of biofuels, and that we shouldn't back down, even in the face of, uh, food shortages and severe poverty.

Bush was quoted as saying, "The truth of the matter is, it's in our national interest that our farmers grow energy, as opposed to us purchasing energy from parts of the world that are unstable or may not like us."

Riiight. So...that whole dependence on foreign oil/getting buddy-buddy with Saudi Arabia...we're over that now? And gawd forbid we upset the farm lobby.
