If you've watched television within the past few months, you're probably aware of a great cultural shift that's already begun to take place. Americans aren't simply standing still on the shore while the Greatest Depression looms before them, threatening to crash down in thunderous waves and engulf them. No, instead Americans are on the move: uncovering hidden riches, digging for gold, making a better economic future for themselves by any means necessary (read: pliers), not just waiting for it to happen. The Great Gold Rush of 2008 is well underway, and calls of "There's gold in them thar hills" can be heard in living rooms far and wide–well, except that "them thar hills" are now "them thar sleepin' grandmas' mouths" and/or "them thar freshly dead husbands."
