this letter was matt's cry for help. biggest part about being over weight is i play this role and pretend it doesn't bother me but deep down inside it's truly killing me. as a standup comic, matt was good at pretending. how you all doing tonight? let me move this so you guys can actually see me. so like i'll do jokes about my weight. i act like i'm fine. are you guys drinking tonight? keep it up, keep it up. the more you drink the sexier i will become. but when the crowd went home and matt was alone, there was only pain. there were times that i would cry. there were times i wish i didn't wake up. food was his source of comfort. i'm killing myself this way. a lot of people think that because you're over weight, you're fat, you don't care about yourself. but it's actually the opposite. i can more about myself than you'd ever know. the 26 year old, wrote the letter courageously asking for help. i don't have the know-how, i also never had anyone to give me support or help push me. know how? support? help? matt's wish came tr

matt makes a good point. you look at it as the gas tank and you have to look at extra prices from fed ex, from the movie theater, the guy that you get on an airline with, all of those prices are passing through and probably take a point off of gdp. >> brenda: it does matter whether it's demand or supply driven, right. >> right, every economy needs gas in 1997, and the fact is flagrantly wrong. america is not growing as much consumption as in the past and other countries like china are. as far as the economy, two kind of high gas prices, agos a result of driving more or buying more, another country or here and here is what i call a service interruption, an iran thing, that high energy price can hurt the economy and reception. one symptom, if you're driving prices up because you're buying more, that's not going to cause a recession, because the strong economy is why it happened in the first place, right now we're into the seeing the service disruptions and i wouldn't get too worried about it, the price goes up
