...Rise of the Religious Left": Why was there no mention of John Edwards? Edwards has made eliminating poverty and helping working families his top priorities. He was director of the Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity at the University of North Carolina and has established One Corps to organize grass-roots efforts to help the needy. While Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama frequently mention their faith, Edwards is quietly living...
...then there is today's political rhetoric. For a while, secular liberals complained that when George W. Bush went all biblical, he was speaking in code. Recently, the Democratic Party seems to have come around to the realization that a lot of grass-roots Democrats welcome such use.

Scruggs too says that keeping the grass-roots rebuilding efforts going will require affirmative answers to fervent prayers for more money and volunteers. Catholic Charities and Habitat are short-staffed and stretched thin...
Bison, on the other hand, eat grass that grows freely, and the manure they produce is a natural fertilizer. True, some bison ranchers are irresponsibly corralling and then "finishing" their animals with a fattier diet of grain just before slaughter. This makes the meat richer, more like beef. Ted's Montana Grill serves grain-finished bison, for instance, although CEO George McKerrow Jr. says the chain is testing grass-finished meat for consistency and quality...
