Pumpkin Bailout!

The Washington Times is reporting pumpkin shortages across the country.

They are saying it was because of rain this summer. I'm blaming both the pumpkin shortage and the fact that my office building is apparently celebrating Nordic Monday all on global warming.

Halloween won't be the only holiday to suffer, though. Thanksgiving pumpkin pie will likely be scarce.

We need to put petty politics aside and save these pagan and Puritan holiday staples.

I am calling on President Obama and congressional leaders to bail out pumpkin farmers to give them the funds they need to save or create enough pumpkins for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

This isn't about the pumpkin lobby, this is about the kids...and pie.
