But a little low on the hamburger...but it makes no difference to me because there is no way I will pay that price even though I love a good steak now and then.
The good part is that it is making me a vegatarian...

. . . even (and especially) during times when the political winds may be blowing in a different direction, and instead move with the wind merely in order to win elections, they ultimately succeed only in further legitimizing and entrenching their opposition in the perception of much of the electorate. THAT was the legacy of the DLC/Third Way, and is the reason, I am convinced, that so much of the public has been so maddeningly slow to recognize the GOP's snake oil for what it is!
