or not. Whatever you didn't do for the least of my brothers, it was probably a paperwork error.
A key government report on hunger in America has eliminated that word from its findings, but not because there are no longer people in need of nutrition.
...Last year, families without enough money to buy food, or where parents skip meals so their children can eat were labeled as having "food insecurity with hunger" and now they simply have "very low food security."
...Hundreds of miles away in Chicago, at the Holy Family Food Pantry, the people lining up for assistance know exactly what hunger means.
"I'm running out of food, so I got to find somewhere to get some food," Terry Sutton said.
But according to the new government report, that doesn't necessarily make him hungry.
Sutton and others like him have "very low food security."
People who have "very low food security" die.
Just so we're clear what doesn't bother the people who have been running things for the last four years.
I don't believe in the vengeful God they do.
Sometimes when I read what they've been doing I wish I did.

Yes, a whopping 1 in 5 people who've been "clinically dead" have had so-called "afterlife experiences". If you're trying to claim that we all have souls that continue to exist after our body dies, the fact that only 1 in 5 people who've been dead have experienced anything isn't exactly compelling evidence for life after death. 1 in 5 people reporting an experience is a large enough number to say that people who have near-death incidents remember some sort of experience; but it's not good evidence for the idea that the experience was what everyone goes through when they die - because the vast majority of people didn't experience anything.

Interesting but slight interview with Baron Cohen. I finally saw the movie last night. There's not a lot that can be said about it now, with all the discussion that's already taken place. It is a very, very funny movie.
