:donut: and lurkers. All this reminds me of that classic quote, "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

Much like the promotional stunt that was pulled on WKRP, the GOP, the bought and paid for Congress, Big Business, and their mistresses on Wall Street are soon to discover that this promotional stunt of dropping rates will have almost the same disastrous results.

This economy can't fly. Yes, it could once soar-when the consumers had money. But 7 years of continual wage starving has had an effect. And the parasitic credit card companies have added to the decline. This 'wage starvation' cannot be cured with a $500 tax rebate anymore that a $200 tax rebate can solve a gas shortage.

I hope the GOP (and Congressional toadies) are prepared for the bloodbath. Except this time it won't be the 'turkeys'. Folks are sharpening axes and pitch forks. Heck, I'm even taking up knitting. I think we are on the right track because the Chamber of Commerce president is not complaining about how businesses are having a tough time-he's complaining about the populist tone of the candidates. I will fully be holding some Dem folks feet to the fire over this.

Happy hunting and watch out for the bears.
