"The path to buying bedsheets isn't lined with satin.

Cotton sheets are available in Egyptian or Supima, long-staple or short, combed or not. Weaves come in twill or percale, and finishes in sateen or plain. Unless you grew up with a loom, such jargon might put you to sleep.

One factor cuts through all that marketing noise, however: thread count. Broadly defined as the number of horizontal and vertical threads squeezed into a square inch of fabric, thread count has become an article of faith among today's consumers, who believe with their hearts and wallets that a 600 thread count sheet is invariably softer, warmer and longer-lasting than a 200. It's as vital a marketing tool for sheets as horsepower is for cars.

But some linen manufacturers say their peers are cheating. Among the accused is Linen Source Inc., a Tampa catalog company with annual sales of $80-million and a vexing lawsuit on its hands. A former customer says the company secretly inflates some of its thread counts by as much as 300 percent so that it can charge higher prices."

Should we be surprised they are also big Bush / RNC supporters?

One contribution alone in September of 2006 was for $25,000 to the RNC
