If the government is going to let people bring food to the Bundy band while it occupies the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, it should allow in only meals that comply with federal guidelines. I'd like to imagine the occupiers eagerly opening the boxes that their supporters bring, only to discover that each package has a sticker that says "Approved by Michelle Obama." Would they eat them? Would they starve? It would be fun to find out.
