By the way, where’s all this hocus pocus the “stimulus” billions package was supposed to conjure up??? I thought so– nowhere! Nothing! Nada! I think it was all a Great Big Hoax. Like Haeckel’s embryos, the Peppered Moth, and Paris Hilton’s LP single smash hit. Because a dollar store down the street closed recently. YES, a DOLLAR store! You know the economy is in the toilet when not even the dollar stores can make a profit in this economy! 
I love dollar stores! I hated to see this one go, because now I have to travel into the city to get to the nearest one. *shudder* I went there this week and, EGADS the place was shambles, hadn’t been cleaned in months. It doesn’t have to be some kind of luxury resort or Jack Georges outlet, but sheesh, people! Pick up the litter!
Anyway. It’s just awful, the way the government has trashed the economy. And they expect us to believe they can fix it! Gah!
Oh yeah, and speaking of hoaxes…..

I remember Dollar Stores when I lived in the South. Haven’t seen any up here in Illinois. Don’t know if they’ve all closed up here because of the economy or if it’s just cultural.

There are NO Dollar Stores in Illinois?!?! What is Illinois, the US High Rent District?! Who’da thought? I’m flabbergasted.

I know there used to be one in the teeny-tiny town of Minonk, IL. It was our lifeline. I *hope* it’s still there.
