Leavin’ Austin…. February 23, 2008

We are leaving in ONE WEEK!  It’s finally come.  We are FINALLY doing a farm internship, where we will live in a converted barn and grow food on a real, working CSA farm!

Work doesn’t actually start until April 1st, so we’re taking a while driving up to the woods of Southen Wisconsin.  It’s going to be a sort of road trip!  A very cold road trip, though.  Ah well.  We’ve had our 70 degree weather….now we’re ready for more arctic conditions.  Or so we tell ourselves.

Right now our apartment is a major disaster zone from collecting things to sell and packing boxes upon boxes of books and clothes.  And homemade beer.  Packing time!

I am voting for Obama, FYI. February 16, 2008

And not Hillary.  And since this is a food-activisty blog, I’ll talk about it relating to food.

First of all, Hillary is pretty much owned by corporations.  Corporations are pretty much machines, which makes Hillary a robot.  One of the biggest sponsors funneling money into the Clinton robotic system is Rural Americans for Clinton, care of Monsanto.  Corporations giving Hillary money are also very much for NAIS, which, if you are familiar with my second to last post, is fascism at its finest.

Obama is not corporate-owned.  And I feel more of a reasonable person in general.  Like, if he’s on the fence about NAIS when the time comes, I feel like he’s someone I can sit down and talk to about it.  What can I say, he’s likeable!
