Oh, by the way - the central 2/3 of Indiana and much of Iowa happens to be under *many* feet of water right now, so corn is likely to be in quite short supply this year.

National Weather Service said central Indiana experienced a "500 year flood" last week.  Two dams broke, Interstate 65 was closed, due to being under water.  John "Cougar" Mellencamp's hometown of Seymour, Indiana had eight feet of water on top of it.

Rain on the Scarecrow indeed - but the blood has been washed off the plow.

Maybe we can eat sub-prime mortgage paper?
