Why do Americans hate America?

Remember when President Bush sagely told us the best thing for Americans to do to fight the war on terror was to go out and spend, spend, spend? Well, we are apparently doing a shitty job of it.

When you're trying to pay for gasoline and keep your family fed, chocolate chip cookies and frozen yogurt are luxuries that many people can do without.

Mrs. Fields, Bennigan's, TCBY, Steak & Ale and perhaps even Pizzeria Uno. And more to come, I am sure.

Heck ov'a economy.
