"If the cows are not productive, there's nobody holding the market up," he said.
It's a scenario that has some dairymen worried about financing. Some fear that lenders will back away from dairies entirely, and are bracing to receive notices from their banks.
Gordon said the Dairy Federation is now exploring possible emergency funding options from the federal government in case that happens.
"We're heading back to (Washington) D.C. at the end of the month to talk to folks back there about what programs are available in times of crisis," he said.
And the dude next to him needs to be told that you stuff the flag into the left pocket of the seat of your pants. Old Glory goes on the left side, buddy.
No TAX'S is just perfecto though. Perfecto, guy.
Apostrophes are used to denote missing letters.
Sorry.

Okay, where do I begin? You guys are the few; taxpayers overall are actually many. And since you're relatively few, who gives a rat's ass about your hypocritical and uninformed whining?
@14: Yes, but do these Real Americans know that? Also, who replaces one single letter with an apostrophe?
@15: That was what caught my attention too. Not to mention, Washington state was the 13th out of 42 overall to ratify it, too, so who knows what he's thinking.
Can someone explain to me in layman's terms what this whole tea party/"tea bagger" movement thing is about?
WE subsidize THEM.
Nice head of hair on the crazy woman in the chair.
That's because tea party patriots are actually well informed and articulate and a clear threat to the socialist regime of Barack Hussein Obama. Your continual mocking of them only betrays your fear of them.
And these tea party patriots are what will sweep the Marxists out of Congress in November!
I predict a pickup of 60-70 seats in the House and at least 20 in the Senate by freedom loving hard traditionalists.
The term "teabagger" came from another idea they thought clever, mailing bags of tea to their congresspeople.
The movement as a whole is kind of a catch-all for... well, you can see the photos.
these people are a demographic dead end and simply a RW harassment technique to keep the liberals irritated and distracted. stop paying attention to them and wasting time responding to their ignorance.
What they are opposed to is other people receiving assistance. For many, it's a simple zero-sum game outlook: More for them = less for me.
Hahaha. Basil's message here seems to be: when there's not racism at Tea Parties, now that's news. Crazy signs, it appears, there definitely were. Looks like they found more than enough crazy signs touted by socialized, government-run healthcare recipients in lawn chairs.
And keep up you're overestimating your own political strength there, Basil. It's workin' for us. The Republicans' sky-high expectations and overconfidence have been causing them to make arrogant and ridiculous mistakes all year, no reason to stop now...
PS. I went down last night to get a drink at Tax's Tavern. Tax's is always a good time.
Tea Partiers are stupid. That's really the only thing they have in common, and they have that in common with other groups of stupid people, many of whom are quite young.
And no, the apostrophe isn't a place-holder for absent letters. If you have the space to write "tax's", you have the space to write "taxes". That's stupid also.
(And I say that as an old whitey myself.)
See bonus track 20.
@38: I'd definitely do that, except I'm pretty damn far away from any centers of Teabagger activism here in Chicago.
Sad to see the guy with the VFW hat who probably doesn't realize he has Patty Murray to thank for the VA hospital renovation and expansion in Walla Walla, when the Bush admin wanted to close it down.
Are there any other kind of people in Washington?
How many of the posters on this thread are WHITE?
You know they are racist, because, they are white?
What race are you?
I'd rather not generalize that these ones are racist though, because these teabaggers/beneficiaries of socialism don't appear suggest that as much to me, and I know so little about their message.
Being white doesn't necessarily make you racist (well, this is highly debatable in academia, now that I think about it, but anyway). Being white also does it make you unqualified to identify racism.
You can also be racist and be able to identify racism. If you were, you might be a hypocrite; but your hypocritical status wouldn't make the person identified as racist suddenly "not racist." They would remain be racist too.
...That's probably hard for you to understand though. I know. 8th-grade Rhetoric is HARD.
@52 et al: Stay tuned. There is some video coming that you will find interesting.

dude only cares about money and ratings. he's just profiting off your stupidity and he basically admits it.
Also: striped pants on the tragically inept Uncle Sam in photo #1, and the hott minx behind him in the eagle t-shirt and headband-muffler thingie.
Is Comfort World the only shop still open in all of downtown Yakima?
Fascinating people. I feel like I'm looking at a National Geographic special about the Bushmen of the Kalahari or something.
something against an old ball sucker - keep your eyes shut
ball sucking - the real deal - is a learned art - wherin the sucker is just interested in how much pleasure he/she can give the guy with the balls
young guys are interested their own fast come - don't take the time to achieve white hot pain/plesure frenzy stuff
Just thought I would break the pace a bit here.
remember it is Yakima - no surprise - home of right wing politics for many a day
The biggest subsidy of all ... human toil from the under class.
Fact.. Used to live nearby. Very racist place. Mexican/Hispanic labor very exploited.
That is the primal difference between the two.
You may as well ask what proportion of the Earth is composed of anti-matter.

Nonetheless, I think they are stooopid and aren't aware such a rule. The "no taxes" concept makes me wonder how their view of a country has services paid for.
So what is he doing in Yakima? His reports from Yakima are a pretext. As a "horseman," Enumclaw Eli is visiting a local horse ranch.
"Conservatives won't bat an eyelash at the prospect of their government spending hundreds of billions of dollars to bomb the hell out of a country half-way around the world, the name of which they can't even pronounce, but will organize a protest at the drop of a hat if that same government proposes to spend a single dime on providing its own citizens (excluding themselves of course) with decent health care."
SLOG Reporting:
Take a bunch of pictures of what seem like some harmless people in front of folding tables.
Don't interview them or ask what they think.
Dirty, filthy, commie-pinko hippies.
I think we should bring that term back into common usage...
I used to hate my mommy and daddy back when they provided my shelter, food, means of transportation, etc... Now that I buy my own stuff, I see mom and dad aren't so bad after all.
My point: Of course the people most dependant on government subsidies are the most vocal about government subsidies. Why the heck would a bunch of 30-year old wage earners get worked up over social security and Medicare / Medicaid?
Based on the signs in these photos, as well as every interview with a tea-bagger I'VE ever seen, I think we are all quite aware of what these people think already.
All of which leads me to believe that thinking isn't really these people's strong-suits to begin with...
Let's run this thru the Liberal Bullshit Translator, gang!
"WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING FACTS!..."
The signs are kind of self-explanatory.
I'm sure half of the protesters will be heading down to the bank sometime this month to deposit their checks from the gov't.
no no junior.
This from the side of the aisle that Convinced you Libs (and the Frenchies) that Saddam Hussein had WMDs...
we were already onboard and gungho to invade Iraq
Also, you're misspelling "Padawan". http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Padawan
too bad the Democraps in the Senate
(and Doorknob Danny)
weren't as clever as you.
you were, what?- 12 years old?...

"Vote Republican. We can't fool a 12 year-old, but we can sure fool you!"
I'm sure there is someone that thinks it's really hilarious the idiot Democrats fell for the Republicans' whole "WMDs" lie. Yep, real clever prank there. Man, the Dems got PUNK'D!
But I'm sure that there's someone - whose loved ones died in Iraq - that disagrees.
Politics is serious business. It's not for children who think it's funny to make up lies and exaggerations in order to "trick" the other side.
Also.
Here's some reality: There were 48 states at the time. On Feb 3, 1913, Delaware became the 36th state to ratify the 16th Amendment, fulfilling the Constitutional requirement of 3/4 of all states. Six more states subsequently ratifed the amendment, bringing the total to 42 out of 48. Only 3 states actually rejected the amendment (the 3 remaing states never brought it up for consideration).
Some people--unfortunately, all too many people--will believe anything.
