And wants more tax dollars to research it.

To prevent future E. coli outbreaks linked to leafy greens, U.S. Rep. Sam Farr said Friday he will request $6 million in federal funds for food-safety research.

Farr’s comments followed a closed-door meeting of about 75 Salinas-area growers, agricultural officials and lawmakers who discussed potential strategies for making local produce safer and restoring the confidence of consumers in the wake of the nationwide E. coli outbreak.

Yep, throw more taxpayer money at it Sam, that’s your shtick. What about making the growers and sellers of contaminated food pay for the study? Here, I’ll do it for free:
E. coli is poop. Animals are pooping or spreading poop in fields. Keep animals out, or clean the food before selling it. No charge, Sam. Now get your grubby hands off my wallet.

Sam The Sham Farr and the case of the missing opponent.

During his three decades in public office, Rep. Sam Farr, D-Carmel, has experienced election campaigns and political opponents of nearly every stripe. He’s faced serious challenges and less-serious challenges, mainstream-party opponents and alternative-party opponents.

But even the veteran Farr has never faced an opponent quite like Anthony DeMaio.

That’s because after filing late and running unopposed in the Republican primary, DeMaio has all but disappeared. The phantom candidate hasn’t answered repeated phone calls and e-mails seeking comment.

Sounds like the making of a conspiracy – what did they do with DeMaio?
Sam The Sham has been on the radio lately, whining about housing costs and the lack of affordable housing in his area. If he thinks he can do something about it WHY DID HE LET IT GET THIS MESSED UP TO BEGIN WITH?

In a Nov. 4 Herald article, Rep. Sam Farr, D-Carmel, stated, “I think if the rest of the country had invested in higher education like California, you would have had a more educated electorate and a California outcome in the rest of the country.” What an outrageous statement.

By the way, I hold a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley, and I’ll hold my education up to Farr’s any day of the week. And guess what. I voted for George Bush. Farr just insulted more than half of the voting public in the United States. What arrogance.

There are probably a number of words to describe a person with his attitude. To me, the word snob comes to mind.

Rep. Sam Farr’s comment, “I think if the rest of the country had invested in higher education like California, you would have had a more educated electorate and a California outcome in the rest of the country,” demonstrates just how far out of touch with reality the Democratic Party really is.

As this self-declared savant knows full well, California ranked 44th in “smartness” (see www.morganquitno.com) of the 50 states last year — that must be why the state keeps sending people like Farr back to Congress.

Rep. Sam Farr’s blaming President Bush’s victory on the status of the nation-wide education system is an insult to all that live in a red state. There are some pretty good universities in those states. Notre Dame, Duke, Purdue, Wake Forest, LSU and Drake come to mind.

This sort of reckless, holier-than-thou statement is the exact reason the Democrats lost this past election. As long as the pretentious, liberal wing of the Democratic Party with these sorts of declarations prevails, the Democrats will continue to be defeated in nationwide elections.

In the Nov. 4 Herald, Rep. Sam Farr is quoted as saying, “I think if the rest of the country had invested in higher education like California, you would have had a more educated electorate and a California outcome in the rest of the country.”

So I guess he’s saying that most of the states in the union are populated by a bunch of illiterate idiots, unable to make informed decisions because they are so stupid.

On behalf of all my friends and family that are spread out all across the country, thank you, Mr. Farr.

Sam The Sham Farr Takes Foot Out Of Mouth

In a Nov. 4 Herald article, “Four more years met with joy, ire” I was quoted responding to a question about the difference between how California votes and how the country at large votes. My answer, possibly too flip, was however the result of my frustration over the number of people who cast a vote having been poorly informed or misled about the Bush administration’s failures and deflections, coupled with a feeling of pride about California’s higher education system and our well-informed electorate. I can understand why some readers coming across my quote misunderstood my intentions.

California also chose a Republican Governor. Put the foot back and shut the heck up.

Does Farr really believe that the majority of voters in the so called “red states” are undereducated and stupid? I wonder how his colleagues on both sides of the aisle would react to such a demeaning remark.

Then again maybe his attitude is reflected in the fact that Farr carries little clout and has no real impact on any major congressional committees.

The county’s congressman, Democrat Sam Farr, essentially blamed Bush’s victory on the status of the education system nationwide.

“I think if the rest of the country had invested in higher education like California, you would have had a more educated electorate and a California outcome in the rest of the country,” said Farr, who easily won re-election Tuesday.

Farr said the election left “nothing changed” in Washington, with Republican control of both houses of Congress and the White House.

How the country will fare, he said, “all depends on the way President Bush decides to govern. If he wants to do as he did the last four years, I see a very contentious Congress. If he tries to reconcile the country, everybody will try to get behind him.”

Sam The Sham Farr Calls Michael Moore His Hero

Posted on by

Walking up Independence Avenue, it is pointed out to Farr that the querulous filmmaker Michael Moore is standing on the next corner with a camera crew and a microphone.

Farr barrels across First Street and right into Moore’s sour mug. “How’s my hero?!” Farr asks.

Moore, with his typical hunched-down head and glum expression, tells Farr, “We’re not looking for guys like you, if you get my drift.”

Ignoring the invitation to scram, Farr lays it on thick for the camera. He runs the show for a few minutes and introduces himself to a Marine that Moore has with him.

Farr walks away from Moore unscathed. In fact, he is beaming. He says he’d just as soon have gone into filmmaking as a young man if he’d known about it.

Sam Farr is a career politician son of a career politician. He has not had to work a day in his life. He’d have never made it as a filmmaker.
