I can't imagine that presenting forged documents to the U.S. Secret Service for the purposes of getting into the White House would be classed as a misdemeanor either...

Of course, someone at the SS probably needs to be burned for failing to catch that situation...

Absent some special statute which might apply to the secret service, whether forgery is a felony or misdemeanor generally depends upon the value of what is obtained by the forgery. I am continually surprised by how casually law enforcement treats forgery, perjury and other "smaller" white collar crimes.

Again, if the SS can't catch a forgery, how do we expect poll workers, employers, etc., etc. to catch it?

Bananas and coconuts huh. Way to go.

Its usually a safe bet that a newspaper writes stories about local agricultural issues.

If I worked for the Times Picayune I might have to write about rice, sugar, sweet potatoes, citrus, and strawberries.

If I worked for the Detroit Free Press I might have to write about cherries and apples.

You have a very narrow world view.
You also didn't answer the question.
