what did you THINK this diary was about? You've got a real sick mind, you know that?

for a second there, I was afraid that link might take me to an X-rated picture. Excellent diary, Frankenoid.
(By the way, after all of those pics of roosters, I was quite tempted to make the last one a pic of something else a little less PG... but I didn't think today was the right day to get myself banned off this site)

Except that 95% of the comments are about the title, not the diary.
Unfortunately, big agra are used to sucking on the government teat and rewarding their representitives accordingly. It will be difficult to change the benefactors to small farmers and consumers.
This is CLASS WAR, and the other side is winning.

It ruins a perfectly good diary and sidetracks a critical discussion.
The farm bill largely determines not only who gets our money but what kind of nourishment we get. Call me fuddy-duddy, but I think it merits a more dignified title. Maybe, "All I Want for My Birthday Is Decent Food" would have worked.

with the title, then nobody would've read the diary. Maybe few people read past the title now, but it's more than it would've been. One thing I've learned is that few people read any diary titled "farm bill."

Your diaries get read.
I guess the fault really lies with the commenters. Even though they clicked, most couldn't think of anything to comment on besides the title.
It's an excellent diary; one of the most substsntial, regarding a topic nobody else covers. Keep up the good fight!

There was one within pretty recent memory that got just 8 comments, or something equally pathetic.
But you're right - on the whole, I've been extremely lucky here, and I'm constantly grateful.

Wasn't fooled at all, especially since the history of the trick still involved chickens.

The front has a stripper holding a large clock standing next to a woman in an elevator. Open it up and it says, "No, I said I wanted a stripper with a large COCK!"
Your diary immediately reminded me of that (before I even opened it), so of course I had to send it to my boyfriend. LOL

On closer examination just another excellent diary...as usual. Thanks OC!

Does this look like a hen to you?
Me neither. But as someone once pointed out, the University of Delaware's Fightin' Blue Cocks just doesn't sound good on Main Street.

His name was Moe. He was very aggressive and chased our dogs and once even attacked a neighbor's cow. He stole a chicken drumstick from me once and we discovered he was a cannibal.
Ahhhh, memories of rural childhood. Anyhow, I am happy to see you bringing attention to the farm bill debate. The way the subsidies have evolved, they no lnger do much to suport the family farm, but rather help fatten the fat cats. A cap of $240k (or better yet, a lower amount like $120k) would go a long way to help. I'll be contacting Kohl & Feingold promptly.

Every time I see the word "cock" in an email, I send it to Spam Cop without even opening it.
Maybe I've been offered chance after chance to get a huge rooster, and I've thrown all those opportunities away.
Somehow, since this is Daily Kos, I figured out this post was about the Farm Bill. Maybe all those emails I've been deleting are really about the Farm Bill, too, enlarging the size and length of it (to cover more states, of course) and I never knew it.
I'd like to have a big rooster, especially one as pretty as the red and blue one in the first photo. Maybe next time I get an offer for a huge one, I'll check it out.

When I first scanned the diary titles I read "clocks". I thought "ohhh-K" and moved on. Once I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes [wee-urr, wee-urr, wee-urr] and scanned the titles again it jumped out at me. This time I thought "ok, I'll bite."

You can get a couple of chicks or a goat from Heifer International. Not for yourself, but it's a very good charity and I was just looking at their catalog the other day. For some strange reason, this diary made me think of them.

Rec'd, not for title, but for content. I actually figured that you had completed the third vac in the series and were ready to hook up. :)
