Car with 70+ MPG manufactured in the US, but not sold in North America

Watch this video on an experience driving a VW getting an incredible 70+ miles per gallon, but only in other countries. Apparently, the engine's emissions are too high (when measured by the gallon but not by the mile) for North America. Hmmm . . .

Regulatory Train Wreck video

The US National Cattlemen's Association is at it again with another video on Beltway Beef - this time with the Regulatory Train Wreck Blues. Boggles the mind when beef can be imported from other countries with much less interference. Worth a watch and a laugh.

Do Vegetarians Have Smaller Brains?

Interesting study mentioned at Agwired.com that found those on a meat-free diet six times more likely to suffer brain shrinkage.

A Canadian dream interrupted, guinea pigs to blame

Farmer Wins Cattle Bedding Court Case

Animal regulations in Europe cover almost everything, including the quality of the straw your cows lay upon. In this case it seems the UK "county mounties" got a little carried away and proved they didn't really know the business or rules they were paid to enforce, resulting in a court case that was sheer "bureaucratic lunacy". Beware, all this is likely to happen on this side of the pond some day. Read about it HERE.

Yeo - hay - represent the west!
(But where's the beef???)

Crazy 'Square Pants Bob' makes hay (you won't believe it until you see it)

Some people will do ANYTHING! I'll never look at a square baler the same way again. Warning - the guy in this gets naked (although you don't see much).
