George W. Bush is sitting with his aides and he is getting debriefed on the world news of the day. The news is rather mundane and unexciting, but one of his aides states that 3 Brazilian people perished in a plane crash early this morning.

Dubya's reaction is pure shock and grief, he's shaking and can't control his emotions.

Tearfully looking over to the man who broke the news, he asks him, "How many is a Brazilian?"

The large egg bin is finally almost full. First time since last winter. It has been slowly filling up over the last several weeks. A little more each week. But the thing is, the prices are not down, not one bit.

and I'll be credited with 4x the original cost of the eggs? I can get groceries worth $28 for free if I "buy" one carton of eggs that used to cost $7?

sometimes twice a day. Now people can always swim in the ocean instead of waiting for the tide to come in. Boats float better. It's a beautiful thing!

Boats floating better means more trade - unless a shark is around and you're in an electric boat. That's a choice in life we will all have to make.

I think we should tariff sharks.



That's what I heard anyway.

My cholesterol is over 2000, but WTH? Eggs are really, really cheap now. Everyone should skip those expensive fruits and vegetables, multi-grained breads, and just eat eggs.

a new wave of the avian flu. The farm was coming back from losing thousands of pullets and now they're dying again. A spokesman for the farm said it takes two years to completely re-establish a profitable flock.

But djt will say the eggs prices are coming down strongly.
