Linda Milazzo: Decision Points: Doin' Costco With George Dubya SHARE
About a week ago, I stopped by my local Costco. Once in, I noticed George Dubya lying flat on his back atop a pile of other George Dubyas. Not wanting to shop alone, I picked up a Dubya and took him along through the store. While on our little journey, Dubya found himself in lots of interesting places. How 'bout taking a peek and deciding which of Dubya's places suits Dubya the best!
