Senator Kennedy wants to do some duck hunting back home, eh? Well, he is a Republican Senator, and therefore we subjects must hip to it!

I don't doubt that is certainly a motivator, but I also don't disagree that a formal study on the effects of flooding corn fields en-masse is in order.

If I put corn in a pond to hunt waterfowl, I go to jail.

If I put pond in the corn, I can charge $10k+/yr to hunt my personal duck park.
