After the recent theatrical charade about the fiscal cliff given to us by the people elected to lead this country, I would like to inform them what Winston Churchill said regarding what they accomplished. “I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." Joe Wollman Odessa...

Byron Behne watches the grain markets for the Odessa Union Warehouse. 12/26/12: I suppose I could make a stupid joke about Santa leaving the wheat market a lump of coal but I just don't have the energy.
