Doesn't the Organic label also allow you to charge quadruple the price
for the same stuff anyone else sells without the label, all while
feeling smug and superior and sustainable and LoCarbon?

Only if you drive to the store to buy it in your Prius. *Southpark had a great episode on
Smug.

The disconnect between the people who demand that stuff and those who
provide it is really funny. If you met the crew who built these you
might mistake us for a biker gang:

Meanwhile, Obama Motors unveils the economical, new Cadillac wagon.

"The Sport Wagon comes with all the things that make the CTS-V sedan
one of the world’s fastest four-doors, including a 556-horsepower
supercharged V-8, available 6-speed manual shifter, magnetic computer
suspension, Recaro seats, Brembo brakes – and now, a power lift-gate
to go with a top speed of roughly 185 miles per hour. The CTS-V wagon
should reach dealers at the tail end of 2011. With the sedan starting
at $61,545, the wagon version should stay below $65,000, about $30,000
less than the new Mercedes-Benz E63 wagon, if Benz ever decided to
import it here."

Damnit, the effin' NYT wouldn't let me shorten that url.

Just what most Cadillac owners want: a manual trans and a clutch.
