Ok, so he may or may not be a birther. I really don't care; President Obama has more than enough people to handle the spittle-laden ravings of the birther crowd.

You know who doesn't have people to defend them from people like Paul Broun? Um... kids who live in poverty.

Yeah, Paul Broun was one of 13 House members who voted "no" on a resolution which expresses the House's support for the National School Lunch Program. The NSLP, by the by, helps folks in a couple of different ways. First, obviously, it provides free or low-cost meals to needy kids - around 30.5 million a day. Secondly, it provides a way to keep American farmers in the black by providing a market to absorb farm surpluses.

It's important to note that this resolution does not appropriate a single dime for the NSLP. That gets handled in, you know, the budget. No, this resolution merely expresses the support of the House for a program that makes sure kids in poverty get at least one square meal a day. It's one of hundreds of such resolutions that roll through every year.

Here's the operative part of the resolution:

Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

(1) supports the goals and ideals of the National School Lunch Program ; and

(2) recognizes that America's pupils deserve access to high-quality, safe, nutritious meals available in the school setting.

That's it. Just Congress saying, "Hey, everyone! We like school lunches, just so you know."

Here are a few fun facts about the vote:

• The resolution had 53 co-sponsors from both parties.
• And, it passed by a vote of 403-13.
• In fact, the entire GOP leadership voted for it.
• And so did every other member of Georgia's Republican delegation (except John Linder, who didn't vote. Maybe he was in the bathroom?).

I sincerely hope that Broun went up and gave Congressmen Kingston, Westmoreland, Price, Deal, and Gingrey the business for their librul, soshulist ways.

Look, there are some things that politicians do and we just roll our eyes and blame it on politics. Then there's stuff like this where there's not even the flimsiest excuse.
