Drip, drip, drip. Hold onto your shorts boys and girls. It's going to get much worse. Today The Queen mentioned to me we might have cut down on our meat purchasing because of higher costs. "That's okay", I said nonchalantly. I thrive off of tomato soup and peanut butter sandwiches. But, if old goats like us feel the pinch I have to wonder how it's hitting folks like my children and grandchildren.
The White House tells us Christmas for the kids might not be up to snuff this year. There a bigger things for kids to care about than a clone of Tickle Me Elmo but you know how it is with whiny children making your life miserable. It's enough to make you want to vote for anything other than a Democrat.\
