I was completely blind-sided by this bit of news. :eyes:

It's good to know that the geniuses are looking out for us.

6. Like timing in comedy, lying is critical in GOP politics.
But now I think I know why Bernanke is coming on the TeeVee later today.

8. I wish he'd do some real good...
And spend a half-hour doing a vaudeville act, because he sure would be more effective at that.

5. The bad news...the recession began 12/07
Edited on Mon Dec-01-08 12:44 PM by ben_meyers
the good news...the average recession lasts 8 months...the really bad news...this one is already a year old and shows little sign of letting up.

10. They gave themselves a little buffer to look credible.
But, as usual, the Emperor has no cloths.

12. I remember a RW blowhard sub on WTAM 1100 just after 1/1/2008
saying that the New York Times was trying to talk down the economy by the NYT saying that the 2007 Christmas sales were down from 2006.

On and on about how the NYT was being a downer, that it was unpatriotic, that it was trying to cause a recession, etc. ...

and then, months later, Wal-Mart posted much lower sales figures for the season, as did the rest of the retailers ...

Of course, the guy still has a job ... despite being too full of partisanship to admit the truth ...
