Yes! Look what happened today when Wal-Mart announced it expected
lower earnings in the next two quarters because of the high price of oil
limiting what customers could spend in their stores. So everyone who
doesn't own oil stocks takes a hit. If you expect to keep an economy
moving there has to be a balance. Of course since the good ole boys in
Houston are making a bundle why should the Shrub care.

Did you hear WalMart is going to begin to sell beer and wine too?

Many folks would enjoy that.  :)

Not in my county they won't.



They also signed some kind of contract that makes them & Sam's Club
etc. the only place you will be able to buy Garth Brooks albums for
the next few years.

I'd rather buy wine and beer. Down here you can purchase wine and beer at Super Walmarts. You can't get it before noon on Sunday, though.

I was down in Rock Port on the 4th of July a year ago and HEB food store had one of the best wine selections as well as beer I have seen in a while.
