complain about that war and the billions er trillions squandered on it.

MO usually runs lower than most of the states on the two coasts.

Given the expected timing of the politicians' lame contribution to the
citizenry, it may allow me to make it to the Old Timers Reunion in my
old hometown.  It's an annual event over Memorial Day weekend.  Given
that most people in that town leave for various places right after
high school, even the most recent graduates (this time the class of
2k8) qualify as old-timers.

Putting the prices into perspective, other commodities are also high.
Gold's at about $1,000...silver's at about $18, platinum's at about
$2,000, corn's at $6 and soybeans at $14.  Compare that to 2003, right
before my last trip to Allah's Sandbox Playground, when gas was at
$1.50, gold was at $300, silver at $4, platinum at $700, corn at $1.60
and soybeans at $5.  Thah dollah sux.

I'm half expecting the gold and silver prices to start to drop as
people dump precious metals to pay for fuel and food.  Then again,
hints of that are already happening in KC with thieves making off with
wiring, piping and A/C units to sell copper at scrap yards, and
stealing catalytic converters for the platinum.  They probably are
also practing unlicensed dentistry to get at gold teeth.

At my old job, a coworker was telling me a bit about the legend of
Washington's Vision.  The gist of that is that the US will be invaded
and nearly wiped off the map, over food.

Perhaps the only problem with Aunt Judy's prophecy is the timing.

Not *that* one.  The May one which might cover a percentage of the

It's a handout for those who get the check but didn't pay any taxes
in the first place.  They should have just reduced tax rates across
the board, but then again, that would only make sense.
