Making yet another appearance on Sadly, No!
What Steve Martin is to SNL, Kerry L. Marsala is to Sadly, No! You understand why when you take a look at the headline of her latest, work: It’s the Gas Prices Stupid. Kerry isn’t just the same great writer we have come to love — she’s also a comedian:
When it comes to deciding whether we want to drive a gas-guzzler or buy a carton of milk- the milk will win every time. Gas just doesn’t soak up the flavor of our Coco Krispies the way milk does.
But when you need to drive to the grocery store, who wins? Osama?
Those big semi-trucks that deliver our groceries to our local supermarket are feeling the gasoline pinch too[.]
(8) Can you feel the pinch tonight? (8)
The Democrats by majority aren’t big proponents of the ANWR development. However, the only offerings coming from the Democrats so far has been just looking for alternative fuels to be our answer, but implementing such takes time?something many pocketbooks don’t have.
Whereas drilling in the ANWR will produce unleaded fuel (regular, super and extra super) immediately!
While most economist leave out the mathematical equations of how America?s economy is doing in their addition and subtraction game (while playing with our inflation numbers)
Yes, economists (like the ones who work for the President) spend all day doing mathematical equations that don’t look at how the economy is doing. They don’t look at unemployment figures, economic growth or any of those things that have any real world impact. And then, late at night while enjoying a glass of Courvoisier, they play with Kerry’s inflation numbers. (Hey Krugman, see if you can get your inflation numbers to do this.)
…it still feels very real to The Jones’, The Gomez’s, The Slotsky’s and The O’Doul’s family’s down any neighborhood street, USA […] but frankly sitting here at the bottom of the economic numbers it is iniquitous.
Oh iniquitous — Festivus’ little known cousin.
Sending our kids to college is becoming the number one reason dads who are heads of their households are going bald… it?s called financial stress.
We call it “being married to Kerry L. Marsala.”
Just do your jobs and take care of the fuel pricing…
Kerry wants the government to provide lower prices on a commodity traded internationally and whose supply is controlled by a cartel… now that’s capitalism.

Use your imagination, Seb! It’s called invading Saudi Arabia and Venezuela and seizing their oil fields! That’ll teach those f@gs to make Kerry pay $2 for a gallon of gas!!!
My wife was a goverment economist, and all she ever did was play Solitaire.
heh. Great post.
I think there are lot’s of problem’s in The Marsala’s family’s down the street’s’es.
…it still feels very real to The Jones’, The Gomez’s, The Slotsky’s and The O’Doul’s...
This is one of those sentences where you can tell the author was struggling with some writer’s block and had to quickly scan the room for inspiration. I guess that the other day, Kerry was jonesing for a sandwich, so while listening to the new Gomez CD, she picked up a sandwich from Scholtzky’s and washed it down with an O’Douls.
I wouldn’t have pegged her as someone who appreciates Gomez’s unique fusion of American soul and Brit-pop.

Probably she was just watching “The Addams Family”.
(As an aside – why don’t the cons dote all over THAT show? Full of a loving family unit; they should really appreciate that.

“Very appropriate for a politician!”

BTW, playing with inflation numbers probably causes those bald spots, as well as fading eyesight and pore speling.
Have we finally gotten to the point where we simply stop grading people on punctuation or subject-verb agreement?
Is it too freaking much to ask someone who “has published one book, with number two waiting in the wings” to write better than this:
“The problem with the rising costs of our energy sources isn?t just about what drizzles down our auto tanks and burns carbon crap into our air- its how the pricing of energy begins to inflict pain in almost every venue of our lives.”
These people are nothing but monkeys with car keys.
Sweet Lordy-Gordy, Jimbo, that sentence was so clumsy and incoherent, it hurt my head to read it. I only hope it hurt her as much to write it.
A lot of people voted for Bush because they felt he would keep the gas prices low.
Heh. Heh heh.
