Back in September of 2002 we all saw then President Bush on TV when discussing Saddam Hussein state, “After all, this is guy that tried to kill my Dad.” OK, Kudos for your honesty, Mr. President. Slip of the tongue or not, you told the camera the truth. He started a war in the Middle East over feelings of vengeance he developed in West Texas. The “war in Iraq” was a personal retaliation directed at Saddam Hussein.

Now come all the reports claiming that the “Bush Team wanted Iraq War from the Start” and I wondering, where have you been? Is there anyone, anyone who still believes we attacked Saddam for WMD’s? We don’t need the “smoking gun.” We’ve had it all along!

Admittedly, I have never planted a garden of my own. I love tomatoes, corn, broccoli and a good salad; I hate Brussels sprouts. Yuck!

Over the last 48 hours, many in the blog and TV media world have been attacking the Survival Seed Bank and it’s recent (and short-lived) airing of its commercial on the Glenn Beck Show. Sowing seeds of hypocrisy, Media Matters, The Huffington Post and AOL News all jumped on the story bemoaning fear-mongering and “apocalyptic visions of the future” or my favorite, Stephen Colbert’s “hot stink of fear.”

Apocalyptic visions of the future? What?

Like the hot stink of fear about global warming with melting glaciers, rising oceans and panicked polar bears?

Like the hot stink of fear with “weapons of mass destruction” and the impending threat of Saddam Hussein?

Like the hot stink of fear in bailouts for companies “too big to fail” and a potential catastrophic economic meltdown if we don’t?

Like the hot stink of fear of pig flu pandemic, swine flu, H1N1 or whatever we call it now?

Like the hot stink of fear over health care death panels, reconciliation or the media inflated crisis du jour?

Like the hot stink of fear that Fox News and now The Drudge Report are seditious, dangerous wing-nut-houses?

Pot calling the kettle black? The Inconvenient Truth of the media sowing the seeds of hypocrisy?

Planning, preparing, having a fall back position isn’t paranoia, it’s practical.

Seat belts, fire extinguishers, medical insurance policies, rainy day funds; astute, not apocalyptic.

I know the good people at Survival Seed Bank. I run their adds on my site. It is an honor to work with them.

***Oh, by the way, do you find it at all interesting that at the bottom of The Huffington Post article, Seedy Advertisers, there is an ad for a seed bank?***
