Monday evening roundup

I've been wondering whether it'll get to the point where I'll get so disaffected that I'll sit out the next election because I'll figure it won't make a difference. Why does this Administration hate the ocean? I know what you're going to say: the other candidate not only hates the oceans but hates women and hates clean air and sustainable agriculture even more than this President. But I'm starting to wonder whether it's diminishing returns.

The government doesn't subsidize what it preaches. Still, there's hope.

If the antibiotics fit hitting the shan isn't enough impetus to stand up to Big Ag, I don't know what is.
