Word to the wise in these final days of the “economy”: All it takes to make the national (and international) news is a Page 7B ad in The Dallas Morning News, followed by a press release advertising said advertisement.

Bonus: This MSNBC footage from this morning follows the Elliott’s offer with Fort Worth’s Cross-Dressing Bandit, who I think is Schutze. Don’t tell.
