I support this Pitting. The _Price is Right_ is an economic godsend to some Americans, giving away $80 million per hour, or so some people say. Let’s do remember to add those losses to the growing toll of the Obama Depression. What’s so galling about this misogynistic Administration is that they are so in-your-face _literal_ with their misdeeds. Couldn’t they have been content to _figuratively_ interrupt The Price is Right? The next time they do this kind of literal mischief I think I’ll scream! Literally. ---
