Woman has multiple bags after just going through the checkout.  She&#039;s standing there looking at the receipt total, looks at the clerk and starts fast-walking out.  Walks faster and faster, calling for husband to &quot;Start the car!  Start the car&quot;....  Obvious impression is that the cost is so low that the clerk must have made a mistake and they better get out of the parking lot before same clerk realizes it.
I find the ad offensive.  If you question the price when it&#039;s high, then you should question the price when it&#039;s low.  There&#039;s an assumption of basic dishonesty.  And that&#039;s what Dodd is guilty of.  He may not have known - but if he knew what was &quot;average&quot; and knew that his mortgage was below &quot;average&quot;, he had an obligation to ask why - and obviously he didn&#039;t.  (and if he _didn&#039;t_ know those basic facts, then do we _really_ want him in the Senate dealing with decisions of governance?)
Gives a whole new meaning to &quot;Don&#039;t ask don&#039;t tell&quot;, doesn&#039;t it! </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you seen the ad for some department store (don&#039;t remember which one) which has low prices after Christmas?
