Bush? That's bullshit, it's Cheney's fault.

Alternate ways to spend that money...

West Virginia: 1 ton of coal.

That sounded totally wrong. Trucks would deliver that much coal to a house to heat it for a winter. So I Googled it, and 1 ton of coal is about $40.

Even in West Virginia, a house is worth more than $40.

Yeah that sounds flakey.
That said, I don't think a ton of coal will last the winter. It has the same BTUs as about 114 gallons of heating oil, 16 million.

Amazon has 4500 ladybugs for under $20, so very roughly $75,500.

My Toyota dealer is probably ripping me off. I doubt it'll take 10 years to get to $4300.

I took my cousin's car to the dealer two weeks ago before I sold it, and it was a shock. We never go to the dealer for our own car and take it to the corner mechanic instead. The dealer was impersonal, slow, difficult to communicate with, and fucking expensive. Also incredibly busy, and there was no place to park.

I had a good experience with my Honda dealer, plus they were across the street from a bookstore, so taking the car in for maintenance was almost a treat. So I got in the habit of using the dealer.

Now that I have the Prius, I may need to look into local mechanics eventually, but inertia is a major factor.

Long article in Mother Jones but this sums it up...

In the top 10 list the list the number of guns made strictly for the US market, but then global revenues.
