Heh Heh......

I got a bit of a chuckle several times in the past week or so.

First, some grocery industry spokeswoman on the radio noted how prices at grocery stores are "going down."  Huh?  Where does this lady live?  I'd like to know so I can shop there.

Second, a spokeswoman for the Detroit Lions wrote a letter to the editor in today's newspaper opposing  proposed legislation that would legalize scalping tickets.  I would assume with a straight face she wrote that scalping "drives up prices past what families can afford."  Hmmm......  I guess this depends on what "families" she's considering.  Has she seen the prices of, say, her own team's tickets?  I haven't looked in quite a while, but about four or five years ago, when my grandson played at halftime of a Lions' game, tickets were $55 each--and we were about half a dozen rows from the very top.  Perhaps I'm just grousing a bit, but the Lions even made the kids who were playing at halftime purchase tickets.  Yeah, they are out there to make money, but how much is enough, esp considering the outlandish salaries players get?  "...drives up prices to past what families can afford?"

Third, an Obama apologist took critics of the Iran-US pact to task, claiming they were all wet to compare the deal with Munich.  Oh?  Well, maybe he's right--if Iran doesn't enrich any fuel behind our backs.  But what exactly is it when we give $9 billion in return for a promise from a known scoundrel, one who has more than once yelled out, "Death to America!?"  Maybe it's Nobel Peace Prize consideration?  After all, the Nobel committee has already belittled the award.
