Breaking bailout news from Artisanal!

The $700 B for Billion may or may not be in the offing for the Man,* but the folks at Artisanal have an answer:

Skyrocketing gas prices, a tumultuous economy, and daily market turmoil should not stop you from enjoying delicious Artisanal Cheese. We mean it . . . and we’re doing something about it!

We've decided to do our part to help in anxious times by drastically reducing our shipping prices.

Starting today, our new shipping prices go into effect, which means immediate savings - in some cases well over 50%.

I know they mean well, but I am not confident that being able to have almost 300 dollars worth of cheese shipped to me for only $21.99 is not quite the same thing as feeling like you are out of the woods.
*Enough to pay Tim Wakefield's 2008 salary for 175,000 years.

In the innane "Wall Street vs. Main Street" dialogue, one of the (probably spurious)figures often cited is that every job cut on Wall Street = 40 jobs on Main Street. The folks at Artisinal Cheese are right about having to worry about being among the first 40 to go.
