We were shopping around for furniture and decided on a pair of Bassett Hudson recliners. They looked nice and felt comfortable, and with John Elway's name attached to their advertising, I figured, How American is that?

Anyway after a few months wait, the special order arrived yesterday. As I was removing the various tags, there was one that said in bold print: Made in China. I was at once stunned and then just as quickly felt a sense of resignation. I made the mistaken presumption that "U.S." furniture was still made in factories in America. I've been able to justify buying Chinese hand towels and kitchen gadgets, but this is a whole new category. I have never spent this much money on a Chinese product, and I really thought I was supporting American workers with this purchase. I can't return them based on this, but I really feel like I should.

OK, rant over.
