In other news....ILLEGALS HARDEST HIT WITH HOME DEPOT ANNOUNCEMENT OF STORE CLOSURES. SOB STORIES AT 10:00.

LOL - I wonder where they will gather at 6 AM now, waiting for day work.

Interesting - I think people are buying fewer big-ticket items like washers and dryers. I have to believe that the markup on those items is tremendous - especially the new "high-efficiency" front-loaders.

Speaking of those, I read somewhere that the front loaders use a special kind of soap...can’t just use any old detergent. Is this true?
