You forgot Bush and Haliburton.

Blessed Is This Piece Of Meat, Amen.

As I awoke one morning when all sweet things are born
A robin perched upon my sill to signal the coming dawn
The bird was fragile young and gay and so sweetly did he sing
That thoughts of joy and happiness through my head did ring
The Robin paused and during that moments lull
I slowly pulled the window down and crushed his f-cking skull.

No, I don't see any threads being started here about Bush.

and you mention Halliburton more than anybody

Harry Boy

The word "Haliburton" was one of the Left Wing Media's favorite words all through The Bush Years, it vanished never to be spoken again that day after Jug Ears was sworn in.

I guess you've forgotten what the issue w/Halliburton was. Or, more likely, you never understood it in the first place.

It's either that or "YOU'RE NOT CLEANING UP OUR MESS FAST ENOUGH!!!"

I just heard Republican Joe Scarborough on "Morning Joe" characterizing the Bush prescription drug benefit as costing seven trillion dollars. That's ten TARPs... how did nobody notice?

Now wahhhhhh, Obama is presiding over deficits.

I'm hoping people can put 2 and 2 together in 2012. Would love to see the Dems free to fix what the pubbies have broken... we've seen what the pubbie House has done... a whole lot of pledgin' and a whole lot of nothin'.

The Brandon Five

Not to bump this thread (non-story), but I noticed when I was at the Big Y on Saturday that the kosher turkey breast at the deli was only 50 cents/lb more than the store brand and the same price as another non-kosher name-brand turkey breast.

I wonder why the whole kosher turkeys are so much more expensive?

Hell if I know.

The delta between kosher and non- seems to increase the further you get from further processing.

It could be classic "over a barrel" behavior. Despite the "no big deal/thanksgiving is wrong" contingent among orthodox Jews, there's got to be a decent market for "must have whole kosher turkey" at thanksgiving. That market is over a barrel.

Another mechanic at work (possibly) is that as other steps of processing are added, the total premium you pay dilutes the impact of the kosher premium.

So if you're already doubling the cost per pound, (just hypothetically to display the math,) and you start at $1.50 vs. $3 per pound...

Then you charge $1 per pound to cut up turkey...

you get $2.50 per pound vs. $4 per pound. The kosher premium appears to begin to go away.

However, the .50 difference you're talking about < the original kosher premium, leading me to believe that the kosher premium at the outset has a lot of give in it.

But then again you're comparing before TG vs. after TG. Demand for turkey of all kinds falls through the floor... and you pretty much have to get rid of this perishable STUFF any way you can, no matter how you slice it, drain its blood, etc. That could explain taking a comparative loss on it after Turkey day... especially given that nobody has a "Hannukah goose" tradition to substitute turkey for.
