Speaking of economic impact, I spoke to my father in Florida and he said the price of budweiser has dropped considerably to $6.00 a twelve pack. A TV reporter attributed the drop in price to the loss of sales in NO and the Gulf Coast. Go figure?

Just wait until you hear the gold-bugs wailing and gnashing their teeth when they figure out that NO ONE WANTS GOLD in a disaster area...just beer, cigs, gasoline, etc...
