A Strange and Bitter Crop

In this case the southern trees are from way down south, way down in Central America.

Strange seeds and the strange fruits they yield: I watched the trailer for the Scary Movie about Romney the Raider, and this line caught my attention:

Romney took foreign seed money from Latin America.

The seed was foreign and from Latin America, which makes it doubly foreign, or doubly Latin American, or both.

In any event, Newt's surrogate's xenophobic appeal aside, I surmise the reference is to Salvadoran coffee exporter and ARENA bankroller Orlando de Sola, a scary dude indeed.
