Okay, not really. Well, maybe it is, I don't follow the price of poultry and I'm sure the media doesn't have it that high in its pecking order either. But they do when it comes to gasoline, and it's up from two weeks ago.
The law of supply and demand be damned, it's up and it's screwing you just in time for the trip to grandma's house!
Up a whole nickel from two weeks ago! Man is that gonna gobble up your travel budget. Just ask Matt Lauer.
Of course gas prices are lower than last Thanksgiving, but you won't get that little giblet from the MSM.

Then I'll sell fabric-less um
November 20, 2006 - 12:27 ET by FastEdThen I'll sell fabric-less umbrellas - selling tag is "The natural un-brella!"
I'll get a segment on the Today show, ML will ask - "Why no fabric?"
I'll answer "We should embrace nature, the making of umbrellas causes global warming!!" - I'll then make a mint on HSN, become a media darling, then crash an burn, due to never ending msm (Lsm) coverage showing my right leaning views, and anti entraprenurial demo-lib legislation.
But, all in all it was a good run.

November 20, 2006 - 12:21 ET by BruzillaNot to contradict NBC News, but I paid .39 a pound for my turkey last year, and I just paid .37 a pound for my turkey for this year. I would also mention that the company I work for, in addition to providing all the same holiday parties and bonuses as last year, also gave each employee a turkey this year... unfortunately I had already bought mine so like a good conservative I'll be donating my turkey to the local food bank.

November 20, 2006 - 13:17 ET by BruzillaOr I could be a typical Liberal and grab a couple cans of .50 cent store-brand green beans, to drop into the food bank collection box, so I could feel good about myself as I go home to roast up my .37/lb turkey... which was bought at a non-union Food Lion store instead of a unionized Publix store where the turkeys are .69/lb. Naw... I'll just donate my $7.00 turkey instead of a buck's worth of green beans and stick to my conservative principals.
And if you were a Liberal roc
November 20, 2006 - 14:42 ET by mattmAnd if you were a Liberal rock star you could do a funraising charity concert so you can brag about raising millions for the homeless or whatever, and never have to spend one dime of your own money, plus the added benefit of DVD/CD sales and the general benefit of "good-will" advertising and PR.
Or I could be a liberal count
November 20, 2006 - 15:05 ET by BruzillaOr I could be a liberal country singer and say how embarassed I am that I live in a country where we eat turkey. Then I could further go out and bash and criticize all those turkey eaters who buy my records, and tell them all to kiss my butt because I have all the money I'll ever need so you can stuff your money into your turkey. Then, when my accountant tells me I'm broke I could go back to all the turkey eaters and tell them that I really do love them all and that I am just a victim of a vast conspiracy that's controlled by BIG HAM. Yes... I think the fools will buy that!

Turkey prices
November 20, 2006 - 12:32 ET by misterbillTurkey prices--don't worry about them. Eat venison--there are discounted prices on deer found by the roadside in Wisconsin. They are being sold as "defiled doe". Bargain prices!!!!!

November 20, 2006 - 13:20 ET by BruzillaSo when is the MSN going to start covering all the "Blood for Holidays" protests that the PITA folks should be starting because of the low cost of turkey driving up the number of innocent fowl slaughtered to satisfy our national lust for low-cost giblets?
Supply and demand
November 20, 2006 - 14:36 ET by nkviking75Poultry prices... media pecking order! Ken, you wacky punster!
That gas prices are going up right now is about as shocking as the fact that the sun will set in the west tonight. Demand goes up, supply doesn't change, and voila! Gas prices rise. It happens every major holiday.
Gas savings - buy more turkey!
November 20, 2006 - 14:39 ET by Gary HallGas savings - buy more turkey.
We're taking a quick 1000 mile round trip this T-day weekend. Let's see, at 20 miles to the gallon, we'll be using about 50 gallons of gasoline. According to the AAA information (you linked) we're going to save about 9 cents a gallon in gas this Thanksgiving. That will be $4.50 in total savings (unless CA has a new gas tax).
A 15 lb. bird is going to cost me an additional 75 cents, but my net savings is $3.75. Fresh Foster Farm turkeys are $0.99 /lb (at Albertsons -- just ask your grocer). Looks like we'll be able to afford another 3-3/4 pounds of turkey. Wow! a 18 3/4 lb. bird this year.
Just how could we survive without Matt Lauer? We will have a Thanksgiving. Hallelulu!
Gas prices are going up too-
November 20, 2006 - 16:05 ET by NazarethGas prices are going up too- just in time for holidays- excuse? Soem storm off the caost of zimbabwei somewhere- Gonna cost a fortune to drive to get a turkey- dems will of course blame the Reps for lowering prices pre election, then raising them after elections.
