OFF THE WIRE
A Lesson in Irony.
The Food Stamp
Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to
be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food
Stamps ever, to 46 million people.
Meanwhile, the
National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the
Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their stated reason
for the policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on handouts
and will not learn to take care of themselves."
Thus ends today's lesson in irony.
