Spin: #reply-12048326 <<NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- The jump in crude oil prices to their highest levels since the Persian Gulf War may look ominous, but it won't impact the U.S. economy as much as the bond markets fear. Since the first run up in oil prices more than a quarter of a century ago, the U.S. has become a more efficient user of oil -- not to say energy in general. Now if we could get the Labor Department to recognize this as well, and reduce the weight that oil has in its price indexes, the higher price of crude oil wouldn't affect its measurement of producer and consumer prices as much as it now does.>>

Ohhhhh, a popping bubble. Well, weren't there a lot of folks on street corners selling pencils and apples? Or will they be selling virtual apples this time around? Re: your earlier post regarding advertising: the media companies must be in fat city, with all these folks madly spending ad dollars. I went to the local pie shop today (rode my motorcycle; it was 65 degrees here in NE Ohio!). Anyway, while eating my pumpkin pie, I read the WSJ, which had a special 3 or 4 part section on e-commerce. By my tally, 85% of the first section (20 or so pages) was advertising! Content? We don need no steenken content!! (or g's!)
