wow. i may have to start eating my words.
maybe.
i’ve dissed vilsack and his questionable coziness with the biotech industry before–i supported the petition against his nomination as agriculture secretary because of it.
but maybe, just maybe, he’s changing his tune?
it’s happened before — he 180′d his ideas about human cloning. so maybe dude [...]
