Last evening, according to my Twitter feed, a lot of people watched Glenn Beck's disastrous interview with Eric Massa. Judging by the breathless tweets, it was the first time many of us had been to that particular rodeo and we were woefully unprepared for things like how freakin' scary the commercials during Glenn Beck's cower hour are. Most of them are for gold and gold-related businesses, including one that featured Scott Winters (I did not like them apples) and another featuring my old pal. However, a few others stood out, like the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews's ad promoting their program to help feed Holocaust survivors in the former Soviet Union. Oh and this piece of total nutbaggery for something called the "Survival Seed Bank," with which you can grow your "crisis garden." Because I care, I visited the site so you don't have to.

I guess that's for people too dumb to figure out the Burpee catalog?

I think I'm going to start referring to everything from my parents' garden as "crisis [whatever]." "Thanks for the crisis zucchini, Mom. How's the crisis watermelon coming along?"

Hee.
Maybe they think Burpee is a communist plot.

More like communist garden plot, amirite.

"Fancy Dress petunia"s? "Tie dye tomatoes"? Sounds like hippie dippy liberal plants to me! But send me some of those 4th of July tomatoes--a real American fruit knows to ripen by Independence Day, like our founders wished!

I sure do enjoy the American (crisis) bounty vegetable soup at school!

Wow, 'just in time distrbution'? Guess they didn't see how much crap we have in the back of the tiny store I work in! This would be funny if it was for the fact that people are taking this seriously.

No business for them! *lol* Seriously though, I think these are the douchebags my mother-in-law must be listening to. She tried, through my husband, to convince me there will be food riots and whatnot and I should keep in mind moving to PA where she is because they have room to grow food there. Nevermind she rents her house, doesn't own it, and she has no savings to speak of, and can't function without electricity for more than a few hours! *sigh* Stupid people are stupid.
