“Careful What You Amish For”

The economy is reportedly taking a toll on Amish communities in Indiana. Those families falling on hard times are having to sell their fancy sport utility horses.

The Amish are I little behind the news on the hits to labor and the economy in general. In fact, they still refer to the influx of Latin American workers as “English.”

Amish culture generally shuns modern technology in favor of simpler living. They even use heavily varnished wood for their stripper poles.

I don't get this one either.
