Cool! Hope they plan to make them a regular crop around here so we can buy them in the stores at some point. Good fresh fruit is so hard to come by here, particularly in the winter months (which seems to be 9 out of 12 months of the year, agriculturally speaking): apples, oranges and bananas are all we get. Yawn. Anything else is cost-prohibitive "out of season", and bananas are becoming that way year-round.

If not for Mr. Obama's vision and wisdom, and the support of the Democrat House and Senate, we could soon be seeing not only kiwi, but also coconuts, bananas, pineapples, coffee beans, and many other tropical fruits growing in Minnesota.

Oh, yeah...but only if we survive the devastation that Global Climate Change will bring to us.

Thank you Mr. President for helping us to survive.

Great, another invasive species! Now we can hire a bunch of new DNR employees to control the spread of this.

Daily Horoscope for December 24

Taurus

Keep calm! Your emotions are becoming increasingly heightened and intense today. As a result, you're likely to take things much more seriously than usual. That's wonderful if you're involved in a hot and heavy encounter with Mr or Ms Right, but it won't be such good news if you go overboard about silly trifles. If you're doing some last-minute shopping you'll want to be as extravagant as your budget allows. Or is it a case of Budget...? What budget?
