ripe tomatos fresh off the vine are best, unlike the styrofoam imitations that the big grocery chains offer.
mr. sanders (who i am told is not a native vermonter but is a carpetbagger from some other state) at least has his head screwed on right.
i am not a native vermonter either but my grandmother was born & raised in orwell & is buried there bless her heart.
the reason there is so little governmental corruption in vermont is there isn't very much loose money lying around, the thieves go after the easy pickins on wall st.

Russians helping build Iranian Nukes [View instapost]
in 1945 after 4 yrs of total mobilization (something even hitler didn't do to germany, remembering the communist revolutions of 1918) the u.s voting public was in no mood for another war. lots of isolationist sentiment left over from 1939.
