Folks just don't realize, it ain't just their electric bill going up, but so it is for the ACME widget company and Dynasty Corn and Hog company.... guess what happens to the prices of widgets and pork bellies?

I won't waste one of the hours I have left on earth to watch this pompous puppet, but I will be looking for the appropriate sound bites.....
