a bad way to start the day

Usually the radio is on in the background to help drone out the sound of that evil freeway. So as I was coming to this morning the first thing I heard on NPR was the story about how the House cafeterias have also hopped on the band wagon and are serving "freedom fries". Oh joy!

Meanwhile, (not) overheard at the local French Embassasy, "Stoopid Americans! You heathens are so stoopid that you don't even realize that your "freedumb fries" aren't even French. They are Belgian. And, if you must know, traditionally eaten with mayonnaise -- not that ketchup merd you Americans love to pour all over everything. You have no taste. You buy croutons from a box. And for that I spit on you all -- patooey!!"

Remember folks, it's always about the money. In this case literally currency. Specifically dollars versus euros, and which should be used to trade oil. If you want the details, I'm happy to send the pdf file. Just email me (ckh@onceupon.com).

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee.
