I saw gas being sold for this price in southeast Missouri (yes, I only saw it because I was dumb and didn’t stop - I had to pay all of $1.37 per gallon at the next stop).

Illinois Governor Rod Blagoevich, a Democrat, was arrested today. Among the charges were that he tried to sell the appointment to Obama’s former Senate seat.

Yeah, I know, I’m a geek. But it least it isn’t a new political blog.

for the $14 cut. Sometimes I’ll use a $5 off coupon.
Gov. Sarah Palin’s traveling makeup artist was paid $68,400 and her hair stylist received more than $42,000 for roughly two months of work, according to a new campaign finance report filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Do American auto workers make more than those in other industries? Sure. But they weren’t the ones who made the strategic decision to focus almost exclusively on huge SUVs while the Japanese companies were developing efficient cars and new technologies.
