Attorney Generals across the country, be on the lookout for potential pumpkin "price gouging" this month, as pumpkin shortages are a scary possibility in many parts of the country, according to various news reports. If there was a futures market for pumpkins we could blame greedy pumpkin speculators for the high prices, but I guess we'll have to settle for blaming greedy pumpkin "price gougers."
