To Bee Or Not To Bee

“There is a general consensus that it is now reaching crisis proportions,” says professor May R. Berenbaum, head of the department of entomology at the University of Illinois, and chair of a committee for the research arm of the National Academy of Sciences that studied the status of pollinators in North America.

The good professor is talking about the recent disappearance of bee colonies throughout the U.S. Up to 70% have now vanished in 20 states, and it's cause for serious concern. The so-called experts have even given it a cute name- colony collapse disorder. It sounds like what would happen to China if punk rock was introduced there, but, all jokes aside, our food-growing capacity would be seriously diminished if colony collapse disorder continues unabated. The bees' worth to our economy is roughly 14 billion a year. The beekeepers do not know the cause of the disappearance, so there are no answers currently at hand.

In other news, Hillary Clinton seems to have acquired a southern accent, and a pretty hokey one at that:

"I don't feel no-ways tired". I DO, Hillary. I'm very tired of you, and all the other tin-horns coming down the trail. You're about as trustworthy as a diamondback rattlesnake, and just as beady-eyed. What did we ever do to deserve you?
