The Old Dog Barks

Tighten your belts and be ready for higher food and fuel prices come fall; we are going to be turning more corn into ethanol. We already turn a quarter of the nations corn into ethanol and the EPA is looking to increase the blend from 10 to 15 percent.

The EPA is putting off the final decision till fall, (I wonder if that has anything to do with election year politics,) and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said:

“With this green light, USDA is surging ahead on our work to provide support to feedstock producers, biofuel refiners and infrastructure installers, such as blender pumps, to ensure that all the pieces of the ethanol supply chain are ready to supply the market demand.”

Yes Government Mandate = Market Demand. All my words mean just what I want them to, nothing more and nothing less. Wouldn’t you think the Department of Energy should be making a call such as this? Course the result would be the same. Look for higher food and fuel prices, and more green jobs and subsidies, it’s the American Way!

When people were listening to Old Time Radio this is the type of movie they were watching at the theater. I remember hearing this song in the 60′s performed by the Letterman. After watching this video clip I pulled out my CD of the Letterman’s Greatest Hits and decided I like this version better. Done by quite a few popular artists over the years, the Astair rendition is about as good as it gets.

Astair had a certain charm that shines through in everything he ever did. No wonder he was so popular. You may not know this but he started out working as a brother and sister act in Vaudeville. His sister Adele, she by all accounts was the star of the show, got top billing, and deservedly so! Adele married up while they were on a tour of England and got out of show business to live a very nice life as Lady Charles Cavendish. Charles was the 9th Duke of Devonshire whose home was Lismore Castle in Ireland.

Fred went into the movies, and in spite of a bad screen test where it was noted he was balding, and couldn’t hardly sing, but could dance a bit. And well . . . the rest is history, but a history that is fading.

So — With this as a clue, if you cannot figure out the current week’s Mystery Girl, I can only suggest that you go back to your room and continue playing with loaded weapons. Or listen to rap.
