		<description>Hi Koshka - I have no control over the ads.  I could come back here entirely, where I have total control over the ads, and have considered it, but have decided that more audience for a message I think worth transmitting is worth the price.

		<description>Feeding America released a new study Hunger in America.  They report a 46% increase in the number of families seeking food assistance since 2006.  This includes 37 million Americans with children accounting for half of that number.  More than 1/3 of these people are having to chose between having food and receiving medical care, housing and utility service on a daily basis.

You can read their full report at http://feedingamerica.org
You can also read my ongoing series On American Privilege at http://thecommongarden.blogspot.com/

Thank you</description>

		<description>I am sorry to see that the nastier types from Scienceblogs have noticed you (although two of the most malevolent and hateful people I know of there have shown up on your blog and been perfectly civil and in one case quite charming - just don&#039;t gore their sacred cow, I guess).  You really are a good influence with the tone you set, and I hope it will rub off on others there.  But I&#039;m not holding my breath.</description>

		<description>Technical issues?

Was it that you had to make sure the ads on the new site for the National Guard were loading?</description>
