Best headline I’ve read all day:

Warning signs missed on economy

Only to people who WANTED to miss them (ahem; everyone in Washington DC).

I’ve been reading and repeating for years that the housing market was in a huge freakin’ bubble, and that once gasoline passed $2 a gallon it would start to drag on the rest of the economy. (Yes, $2.00; once we hit three or four dollars a gallon it just adds to the pain)

Grrrr.

Watching “According to Jim” with your 80 year old mother in law and getting repeated KY Warming and Tingling ads on tv.

Priceless.

If it happens on Larry King “live,” it isn’t news.

If Gupta says something how to wash our hands, it isn’t news.

If one of your other hacks (the one for or the one against immigration, whatever) says something, it isn’t news.

If Nancy Grace cries on camera for the umpteenth time about some poor little kid that had something bad happen, it isn’t news.

These are opinions. Almost as real as ‘the Bachelor.’

Quit trying to be (as bad as) Fox. You’re sucking.

If it’s endless shrimp, how come it’s only for a limited time?
