...cancels sitcoms: only 6% of farmers are younger than 35, while 26% are over 65. "It's damn near impossible to get started today," Craig Ebberson says during a tour of the endless rows of corn and soybeans he farms with his sons near Randolph, Neb. "Farms are getting bigger and more efficient, and that's not going to stop." The Environmental Working Group's farm-subsidy database shows that Ebbersons in the area collected $3 million in crop aid over the past decade.

Now, he claims to represent the socially conservative wing of the conservative party. In 2005, Romney praised the McCain-Kennedy immigration bill as a “reasonable proposal” that is “quite different” than amnesty. Now he calls the bill amnesty and opposes...
...NCAA March Madness. But its big-ticket failures may in the end have been more telling. For years it offered a law program, but eventually ended up selling it to Pat Robertson. The amount of the possible losses involved are not immediately available, but documentation exists of an even bigger money pit, the City of Faith Medical Center, a combination physical and spiritual healing facility...
