State of the Ethanol

After I successfully begged the Waukesha Freeman to run my guest column today, I did what every good writer does: screw the rest of the newspaper where did they run me? Because, of course, it's all about me.

So when I got my love note from Olive® telling me that the morning electronic edition of the Freeman was ready (goes great with the first bloody mary of the day), I totally missed what was on the front page.

Imagine my surprise when I got home tonight, I opened the front door and the newspaper fell apart on my porch. Oh yeah, the other surprise. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the front page and saw that President Bush may propose ethanol as an alternative fuel source.

Bartender! Make my ethanol on the rocks, olive, no twist.
