Just in case you haven’t noticed, I’ve added 2 new gizmos to the web page. On the left, I’ve added a box that lists the latest average gasoline prices by State. Remember that they are the state-wide average, and your local price may vary. The gizmo cycles through all states alphabetically. If you don’t have the patience to wait for your state, you can type in the 2 letter state abbreviation and it will list that state and stop the cycling.
On the right, I have added a gizmo that reports the current cost of the war conflict in Iraq (remember it is NOT a war because the US never declared war). These numbers, by the way, are the official government count. There are those economists who claim that the current cost of Iraq is closer to 3 Trillion dollars, not the 500 Billion that the count shows. Just in case you were wondering where your tax dollars are going…
By the way, both of these gizmos are compliments of zFacts.com, a very interesting web site with lots of economic data. If you visit, check out the article on the waste that is corn-based ethanol.
