By Cassie

I’ve always been different from other kids.  Smarter, prettier, more resourceful.  Mostly more resourceful.For instance, in elementary school I carried an empty lunchbox to school most days and a full lunchbox home.  My school cafeteria had a little table near the exit for used lunch trays, and a tray in the back where you could put any food still in the package, full milk cartons, or whole pieces of fruit.  That table was my lunch line and my grocery store until we started getting food stamps. One of my teachers told me that it was OK to take an apple from the table and save it for later, and that was like a green light for me to start filling my empty lunchbox every day with enough food for dinner.

When I was little, there were times when we didn’t have enough food in the house.  My mom’s an addict, and feeding us was less of a priority for her than it should have been.

Sometimes we had enough food, but my brother and I weren’t allowed to use the stove or mess up the microwave.  Sometimes my mom had money but used it for drugs rather than food.  Sometimes she forgot.  And sometimes she grocery shopped and cooked wonderful meals. Sometimes we were hungry, and sometimes we were just food-insecure.

I became a much better-fed, happier, and less worried student when I was in fourth grade and we actually signed up for food stamps and the school’s free-breakfast and free-lunch program, after my fourth grade teacher urged my family to sign the forms.  I started eating hot meals at school and worrying less about where my next meal would come from.  Shockingly, it turns out that enrolling us in these programs could have landed my mother in jail!  Source Article

Keith Olbermann blasted the mainstream media on his show Wednesday night for being either “too corrupt or too dense” to understand the “Occupy Wall Street” movement.

Numerous media outlets repeated the criticism that the protest had no specific purpose or demands.

Fox News host Charles Gasparino called the protest “idiotic” and CNN anchor Erin Burnett mocked the demonstration in her debut. The New York Times had described the protest as a “noble but fractured and airy movement of rightly frustrated young people” whose purpose was “virtually impossible to decipher.”

“Here is what Occupy Wall Street says and wants,” Olbermann said.

We here in Oregon called him Senator Hatfield and we loved him.

Senator Mark O. Hatfield died last night.  It was the passing of a giant.  He was one of the youngest governors of the State of Oregon, one of the younger (and longest serving 30 years) US Senators.

Hatfield was an environmentalist who worked tirelessly to make sure that the state he loved was cared for properly.  At the same time, he also believed in expanding trade and educational opportunies for his people.

The list of things this man accomplished is as long as your arm.

What endeared him to his people most of all was his willingness to go against his own party if necessary.  With Sen. Hatfield it was neccessary.

In 1953 he introduced and passed legislation in the House that prohibited discrimination based on race in public accommodations before federal legislation and court decisions did so on a national level.

When he ran for Governor of Oregon, he was opposed by his own party.  That didn’t bother him a bit.  He won the primary and then the general election.  He was the youngest governor in the history of Oregon at that point in time at the age of 36.

His most famous vote was against the Vietnam War.

Mark O. Hatfield was a Governor, a U.S. Senator, and a statesman.

He was also a Republican.

Sen. Hatfield was one of two Republicans I’ve ever admired.  I don’t think we will see men like him again.

That is so sad.

We’ll miss you Sen. Hatfield.
