Monsanto Years
You never know what the future holds in the shallow soil of Monsanto, Monsanto
The moon is full and the seeds are sown while the farmer toils for Monsanto, Monsanto
When these seeds rise they're ready for the pesticide
And Roundup comes and brings the poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto
Greetings earthlings; I come in peace.

I'm new to the site and probably not known by many here so thought that a photo essay might it be a pretty good way of introducing myself to those who don't know me.

Cartoon: Les Beastiables -- Presidential Candidate and Senator Marco Rubioceros!
Submitted by elenacarlena on Fri, 08/21/2015 - 8:44pmLes Beastiables ("Les Bez"): Beasties say the darnedest things!
Today's Beastiable is Senator Marco Rubio. He has said several beastly things, yet is considered a front runner for the Republican nomination for President. Thus he has earned his turn as one of Les Beastiables.
NOTE FOR NEW READERS: This series features a new Les Beastiables cartoon here on caucus99percent every Friday afternoon/evening. We indulge in a little Franglish because the French are tres classy. But I digresse.
For serious source information, please join me below the break. Then you'll be able to "cleanse your palate" with a photo before you leave.
