Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
On this Thanksgiving Day . . .
So nice to know that there really is no one going hungry in America:
Only one child in 75 went “hungry” for even a single day during 2009 because of a lack of food in the home.
Love the quotes. But it gets worse. See, the hungry are to blame for their hunger, cuz they just don’t know how to budget:
Interestingly, the USDA report shows that millions of families that are judged “food secure” have lower incomes (relative to family size and age) than do many homes that are “food insecure.” This same pattern appears in each annual food security report. It indicates that “food insecurity” is, to a considerable degree, dependent on how efficiently a family allocates its food dollars and how it distributes its available food over the course of a month.
This guy goes on to claim that the “food insecure” are, in fact, obese, and
Virtually no food-insecure adults are underweight.
No one starves to death in the US of A. No one.
Or at least, virtually no one.
Here’s to William S. Burroughs, who recognized as well as anyone alive the hypocrisy of America.

Thanks for Indians, to provide a modicum of challenge and danger…
Even with his well-documented flaws, I still loves me some WSB…
Flaws? The man had flaws? (Aside from being a regrettably poor aim . . . Oh, and a junkie of course, but that was more a design feature, right?) No one did hallucinatory prose like Burroughs.
I was thinking the poor aim, yeah… Everything else was more or less a feature.
