Both Senator Edwards and Obama were in town last weekend. You can be sure not a disparaging word about King Corn and Ethanol was spoken here. Of course Obama wouldn't have been elected in farm state Illinois by bad mouthing the holiest of holy subjects.
The whole city of Detroit used to smell like that when the wind was from the south and the Seagram distillery of Windsor, Ontario. (Yes, Canada is south of Detroit.)
Now I guess the whole country is going to smell like sour mash, if the farmer-appeasing politicians have their way. It's weird that like 95 % of the American people live in cities, but farmers still rule the country in some ways.
