We're out of photogenic crack whores
I tried to find some more pictures of dope smoking fiends for this post, either I am running out or there aren't any photogenic crack whores laying around. Anyway this piece is from Opinion Journal.
Update: I was wrong I found one. She got this way reading the New York Times.
Either way reading....listening and watching the MSM is painful...I respectfully submit to a fine example.
The Good News Is the Bad News Is Wrong
Have you noticed how, at least when a Republican is in the White House, economic news almost always seems to be bad news? When in doubt, it seems, the journalists just make stuff up. This is from a Reuters dispatch last week:
Employers are having difficulty finding the right people to fill jobs despite high unemployment in Europe and the United States, a survey by U.S.-based staffing firm Manpower showed Tuesday.
In fact, unemployment in the U.S. was just 4.7% in January, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whereas rates in Western Europe routinely run twice that. Meanwhile, check out this Associated Press dispatch:
After the booming 1990s when incomes and stock prices were soaring, this decade has been less of a thrill ride for most American families.
Average incomes after adjusting for inflation actually fell from 2001 to 2004, and the growth in net worth was the weakest in a decade, the Federal Reserve reported Thursday. . . .
The median family income, the point where half the families made more and half made less, rose a tiny 1.6 percent to $43,200 in 2004 compared with 2001.
But if the average income fell while the median income rose, that almost certainly means that incomes were falling at the top while rising at the bottom. If the opposite had happened, of course, the AP would doubtless have told an alarming story of increasing income inequality.

That's the difference isn't it...we believe we earn it and they think they deserve it.

That top photo looks like an opium smoker. I guess that both crack and opium smokers cave in their cheeks, huh?

Very attractive!
I agree the economy seems to be doing well but I am worried about the $450 billion debt we are building up in Iraq. If Iraq falls into civil war, that's wasted money.

Iraqi civil war is an MSM myth also.
