It blew my mind away.<br /><br />My one hope is that President Obama will hold a press conference and utter these these simple, yet industry-inspiring, words:<br /><br />"But I know that if the Germans and Mexicans can design an affordable, well-designed escalator-ramp for shopping carts, then doggone it, the American people should be able to to do the same. So my job is to ask the supermarket industry: Why is it you guys can't do this?"<br /><br />Gosh, if the President can't get supermarkets in line for the good of the nation, why did we ever elect him?Adam Dyneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821000224953864736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-3407726516902524192009-05-05T13:47:00.000-04:002009-05-05T13:47:00.000-04:00Oh, and another thing, MT: this area of Germany i...Oh, and another thing, MT: this area of Germany is called "Franconia", for the Hugenots who settled, or resettled it.<br /><br />So that's local mustard.
