Department of Two Cent Disbursements
Isn't there some way we can blame the problem on the French?
Lugosi replies:
Sure, why not? At the moment they're all obsessed with their President's sex life, so they're not going to be paying attention to us anyway.
According to Wal-Mart, most people who received gift certificates this Christmas didn't use them for big ticket items, as anticipated, but are buying food, clothes, diapers, etc. The necessary basics. China (and Dubya) might just get a surprise on the tax rebate spending pattern.
Lugosi replies:
"Big ticket items" at Wal-Mart? Actually, the one near me recently added a computer department with desktops, laptops, monitors, and all kinds of accessories. I about went into into a state of shock when I saw it.
