The improved shopping experience at HEB

Date February 28, 2008

I’m beginning to hate my HEB. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s been upgraded with new features like having candy and cereals on the same aisle. The main entrance now forces you to walk through the greatly expanded wine and floral sections. I guess the fact that some of the wines and cigars are locked in [...]

The Washington Monthly

Seen through this lens, the problem with Obama isn’t that he’s less experienced than Hillary, but that he’s inexperienced, full stop. And again, like it or not, John McCain will certainly use that [...]
