Naaaah. Those who drive the SUVs are being bitten in the wallet.

Sure. But they are also using up a critical strategic resource, contributing
to the imbalance of trade, and other things like that. Some patriots.



Patriotic? Unpatriotic?

Don't look now, but economics pretty much went global about 50 years ago.
"Patriotism" has didly-squat to do with it.

I think of that often as I contemplate my "made in Tennessee" rig. It
is filled with components from China, Japan, Korea, Maylaysia, Taiwan
and the Philippines.

Congrats on Minnesota's capturing the Little Brown Jug for the first
time in nineteen years. That was a long drought.

Those guys give me fits! Win their first four games with 40-50 points per game,
get embarrased at Happy Valley last weekend, then grind out a nice unexpected
win against Michigan. The next two weeks against strong Divisional rivals
(Wisconsin, Ohio State) will tell the tale.

Wisconsin and Ohio State certainly got softened up a bit this weekend.
Penn State looked pretty good.

West Virginia didn't exactly look stellar in beating up little old Rutgers.

It appears that the Nits were not a fluke, though.
