I don't think they can eat exclusively grass, but they will certainly eat grass.

Apparently hair takes forever to compost on it's own. If you just wanted to compost hair, and not use it as a mulch, you could probably pre-treat it with a bit of lye. Just don't make your compost pile too alkaline.

It's a protein based (high nitrogen) mulch. Of course plants grow better.

Government can't create jobs, it can only re-purpose money.
Now, if he wants to hold a consortium a la IETF/W3C to create a standard format for records, I'd be all for that. Foster an open source community to create software for those formats, based on the investments of interested parties, more power to him.
These records should not be kept in a central location, rather they should be used as a means to exchange information between providers more easily.

Submission + - Boston Tea Party Internet Money Bomb
7-Vodka writes: Most political campaigns are run from the top down. Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul's campaign is a self-organizing distributed movement with virtually no central control that uses the Internet as it's infrastructure. This campaign was receiving very little attention until last month when an independent supporter, Trevor Lyman, helped to organize a fundraiser that raised $4.3M on November 5th. Because the November 5th fundraiser had a Guy Fawkes theme and the political shock waves were massive, it was nicknamed the 'Money Bomb'.
Today December 16th Trevor has organized another Money Bomb fundraiser, this time to celebrate the Boston Tea Party. The big news is that the total number of donations and funds raised are already shattering all previous records. Please take this as an opportunity to get to know Dr. Ron Paul, a 10 term congressman from Texas and where he stands on issues. If like all of us who are breaking records today, you feel Dr. Paul has more to offer than any other candidate out there you will know what to do.
