i laughed out loud last night while listening to BBC's the world on NPR.
they were talking about the rising tortilla prices. which might be seen, comparatively, as rising mcdonald's prices, right? what is it that poor people eat in this country? anyway.
people were protesting.
and according to felipe calderon, it's the united states' fault for the rising corn prices because we're using it to make ethanol!
there are many ills that can be blamed on this country, but blaming us for your tortilla shortages... that's stretching it a little.

ok, miss e does recognise that maybe the cheap corn mx is used to receiving from us might cause the price hike if less corn is getting to them. but still, it sounded funny.
