I have seen previews for the upcoming series "Cane" starring Jimmy Smits as an heir to a latino sugar baron's fortune, in which he delivers one of the most ludicrous lines of television history . . . "Sugarcane is the new oil." First of all the line "_____ is the new ____" is so 10 min. ago. Second, perhaps an argument can be made that ethanol is the new oil, but sugar?!?
