This is just sad. Utterly disgraceful.

 Iowa and New Hampshire are a long way from the White House, but for GOP presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman, a Trader Joe's just nine blocks from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue isn't any closer.

A clerk at the popular and affordable grocery store at 25th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW says that Huntsman, normally accompanied by one of his daughters, makes a regular pit stop on Fridays when he returns home to Washington. But, she adds, "nobody recognizes him."

She adds that Huntsman is engaging, "intelligent, easy to talk to" and unrushed when he visits the store and she's been encouraging customers to come in on Fridays to chat him up. "He's very nice," she says.

One thing's for sure: Huntsman is one of the few presidential candidates who shops for himself and his family.

Spokesman Tim Miller says his boss is a regular at the store known for its funky marketing, healthy fare, and cut-rate deals.

"Yep, that's him," says Miller. "He mainly grabs snacks for the road. He loves their nut/fruit mixes and chips. And also the deals!"

Incredible.     



I actually like Huntsman.   I dont agree with all of his positions - but I like him a lot more than most others.

I think he has the better run vs OB.

I think he's a bit more conservative then Romney but neither of them is going to come out an attack Obama, which is what is needed to fire up the base.

The thing I like about Huntsman is that he is honest.   If he got a little more pissed off and dropped the panzie routine - he would skyrocket to the top.


He has a great record from what i have researches so far and its a shame where he is.

I just ran to Trader Joe's during lunch today. Huntsman's got my vote!

Imagine that people even in DC dont know him?   

How ignorant are people?   


We really are a pathetic society lately.    even if any of the 9 justices of the SC were in a Deli I could pick out any one of them, same for most senators, cabinet people, etc.

Feds propose allowing wind-farm developer to kill golden eagles

The federal government is proposing to grant a first-of-its-kind permit that would allow the developer of a central Oregon wind-power project to legally kill golden eagles, a regulatory move being closely watched by conservationists.

The Interior Department’s Fish and Wildlife Service on Tuesday released a draft environmental assessment that would allow West Butte Wind Power LLC to kill as many as three protected golden eagles over five years if the company fulfills its conservation commitments.

It’s the first eagle “take permit” application to be received and acted on by U.S. Fish and Wildlife under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. (“Take” means to kill, harass or disturb the birds, their nests or their eggs.)The legislation, enacted in 1940, prohibits anyone from killing or disturbing any bald or golden eagles without a permit from the Interior Department.

Regulations adopted in 2009 enabled the agency to authorize, for the first time, the “take” of eagles for activities that are otherwise lawful but that result in either disturbance or death. In this case "taking" would be the killing of eagles hit by the wind turbines' huge blades.
