Mark Steyn Slams Another Home Run

Mark Steyn just blasted one into the far right-field bleachers with a devastating article, "Chickenfeedhawks", tieing the developing food shortages to the biofuel insanity, and placing the blame squarely where it belongs. Here's an excerpt:

In Haiti, the Prime Minister Jacques Edouard Alexis was removed from office on April 12. Insofar as history will recall him at all, he may have the distinction of being the first head of government to fall victim to “global warming” — or, at any rate, the “war on global warming” that Time magazine is gung-ho for. At least five people have been killed in food riots in Port-au-Prince. Prices have risen 40 percent since last summer and, as Deroy Murdock reported, some citizens are now subsisting on biscuits made from salt, vegetable oil and (mmmm) dirt. Dirt cookies: Nutritious, tasty, and affordable? Well, one out of three ain’t bad.

Later in the column, his deft characterization of The Goreacle cracked me up.

Reminder: check out Mark's great new book, just out in paperback with a revised introduction, America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It.
