Inflation Rate Is Worst in 17 Years

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Higher costs for energy and food last year pushed
inflation up by the largest amount in 17 years, even though prices
generally remained tame outside of those two areas. Meanwhile,
industrial output was flat in December, more evidence of a significant
slowdown in the economy. Consumer prices rose by 4.1 percent for all of
2007, up sharply from a 2.5 percent increase in 2006, the Labor
Department said Wednesday. Consumers felt the pain when they filled up
their gas tanks or shopped for groceries. Prices for both energy and
food shot up by the largest amount since 1990.

One must wonder, "Where is Chuck?"

HEY CHUCK! Isn't this 'political horse ****'?

Yeah. And I'm doing my best not to participate in it, thank you.
I slip once in a while, but there's a huge difference between hoping
to find some boating related discussion at this site and cranking out
one troll-post after another.

Wonder what they'd think over on the "libs.r.us" or "bush.for.king"
sites if I just started posting a bunch of boating related threads? My
bet is that would be just as silly and out of place as all the
political trolls are on this boating site.

Yeah, yeah. "You can ignore them".

That's like trying to ignore the litter after the recycling truck
rolls over at the corner. :-)

Chuck, just be fair and balanced. That's all.
