Somebody needs to tell Bob Tuschman that he should not be on TV -- he's totally NOT photogenic.

As gas prices and corn ethanol begets the food and consumer products supply, expect more of this.

We have not yet seen the true dollar pass-thru of oil costs, in unit of energy needed to produce and move something, to your table or shoe rack or shopping bag or local cafe. Plus, it costs twice as much per shipping container to ship those cheap DVD players and TVs from China and Korea and Malaysia to Walmart now.

(And I'm a laugh-riot at parties, too!)

Just what is it with Blue Bell ice cream and Texas? Why does everyone advertise "we sell it here!?

I mean, I know that Texas is so up on itself and all, but the stuff is barley middle of the road at the best of times, and Ton Thumb Bucket quality at its worst. They must spend more on advertising than product development and quality control, for sure.

Plus, they tax snowfall in the winter too, love Bush, want to become the 51st state, and have plans to sell all their water to America.

Next questions, please... ;-)

I hope someone remembered to tell them that sunlight in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta is taxed, and it varies (by province) between CDN$4.20 and CDN$5.75 per 10kW (or portion thereof).

So, they better bring their MasterCards and remember not to bypass the provincial truck stop measurement booths! Big fines if they don't stop in.

What a joke. A meeting place for entrepreneurs!

No parking and slowest baristas in town. I waited 10 minutes for a soy latte a month ago at 10:30am mid-week. There was one person in front of me. The cashier and the barista were chatting as if they hadn't seen each other in 15 years.

10 minutes!!!
