Syble Latta and her bridal boutique, Poffie Girls, have lasted through four recessions. Each time, she said, sales suffered at her Gastonia shop as brides opted for cheaper dresses. Sales also plummeted after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Brides who in the past may have paid $1,200 for a wedding gown opted for dresses that cost an average of $750. Now, as the Economy flirts with a recession, sales are the strongest Latta's seen during the boutique's 35-year history. They're up 25 percent over this same time last year. "I don't know why," she said. Brides are spending an average $1,500 to $3,000 per dress, such as the three Enzoani designer gowns Latta sold Saturday. "I'm not seeing that people are worried about the Economy like I have through some of the other recessions," she said, noting shoppers appreciate the rich silk, craftsmanship and superior fit of the couture frocks.

Wedding gowns can be heavy -- some weighing in at more than 15 pounds -- and the store has h ...

It is George Bush's leadership, or lack of it, that has put us in our financial and energy crises. A man who bankrupted two companies prior to his presidency can now add the U.S. government to the list. Notwithstanding the massive money spent on "his" war, just the $60 billion subsidies given to the oil companies each year could overcome our energy shortage. It just would have to be re-directed. ...
