I
n trying to do my part to bail out our economy, I've graciously allowed my debit / check / bank / credit card number to be stolen and abused by a random person in Florida. They tried to buy
something for $900 from a Wal-Mart in the Sunshine State. It was only through the narrow-minded mean-spiritedness of
Commerce Bank that the poor soul was denied the obvious pleasure of whatever Wal-Mart had rolled back the prices on that day.

In a lesser display of fiscal policy, I also tend to buy foods that sound good while shopping, and then leave them to stew in the pantry for ill-advised lengths of time. See Exhibit A in the form of some soup that's been around longer than Obama was a senator.
