Nothing new here

It's just that I suddenly realized I haven't bitched about it before.

An area hardware chain is hawking antifreeze as "50-50" (half water) as though it a very special thing. Ready to pour, y'know. Price is $4.95 per gallon. Full-strength stuff is $5.95. Water being somewhat profitable at c. 1.95 per gallon, you just know that Bomgaars is solidly behind the NEA and others dedicated to producing a dumber America.

Yea, that's akin to some politician claiming that raising a tax rate from 4% to 6% is "only a two per-cent increase." Gawd, do we look THAT dumb? (Don't answer that.)

Ha. We have stuff for sale in one of our large bargain department stores which purports to thin acrylic paint. Yes, it was water. That said, anyone want to but a few tins of lovely clean New Zealand air?
