TweetThere are so many empty businesses here in California that it's beginning to look like a ghost town. Isn't it ironic how Bush once ruined two of his dad's businesses when he took them over. Now as President, he's managed to ruin a flock of businesses.

Your best out would be to get a gift card from grocery store chains to give as a gift. Even Eckerd Drugs, my old part time job back home, closed down a few years ago.
