Have to give both people some credit if they go through with the challenge, without any sort of cheating. Granted, I wouldn't be surprised if there is or it is set-up err..cheaply? Anyways be interesting to see what happens:

Shows how little I've paid attention to the news around here, didn't even know he had done that. Hopefully more politicians are willing to try it and see how it is to have to live on food stamps, if anything it should give some perspective.
