New Video: The Story of the White House Garden

The White House released an inspiring new video this week, starring First Lady Michelle Obama, Chef Sam Kass, and the Bancroft Elementary students who helped plant the kitchen garden. Click through to watch ... there's a cool time lapse video of the garden's growth and historical footage from a 1944 "Victory Gardens" film.

Must be some sort of commie plot.

Why does the chef guy keep talking about "adding amendments" and "spreading amendments"? An amendment is an abstract thing, you MAKE an amendment, you don't buy a bag of it and empty it on your garden. Silly.

Also, can AT do something about these "users" who use the comments section to advertise, like the Nike schill above? It looks so cheap and nasty, and I see it quite a bit here.
