Wow ! Our economy is "perky".. The smiling, giggling man at CNN just said things are great !

[SoCalDem]

Europeans will be flocking here with empty suitcases and return to europe with bags loaded with stuff they bought here, because our dollar is "floating".. how quaint.. Too bad that those products they will be putting in those suitcases are from CHINA.:rofl:..and that the workers here are still being paid less and less..

But Hey,. the dollar is perky..:)

The guy on before this looney-tune guy reminded us that even the job market is great too.. Teachers are needed (of course they don't get paid enough to pay back their student loans) and of course there is a booming need for LONG HAUL truckers ( that's a great 'family-building" career)..

He did caution people that housing is expensive where these jobs are available, so good luck to ya.. but then the housing prices are dropping too, so it's a GREAT time to be "getting more training" and going for these jobs.. :eyes:

and of course, all the Canadians will be flocking to the US to shop here since their money is "overpriced" right now.. :rofl:

So let's not worry our pretty little heads about all the "economy stuff'.. It;s all to hard for us little people to understand.. just be content in the knowledge that
everything's hunky-dory and we're all just doing great!

The smiling man said so, and the charming hosts agreed with him,:)

detriment on the Planet.

bushits to catapult the propoganda..bush tries as hard as he can but being the catapulter in chief is HARD work and he needs assistance from the pravda on the Potomac.

7. iirc, the FCC is about to loosen the rules on media consolidation.

CNN wants to protect its stockholders, not the public.

9. I saw that segment yesterday.

I wondered if maybe Karen Hughes was writing the script.

10. He must have missed the articles about how international tourism is way down

because nobody wants to come here.

13. Except for the H1B workers

:D

11. Those chirping, upbeat, overpaid talking heads

are our best friends. They let everybody know that the media don't know what they're talking about, that our leaders are out to lunch permanently, and that great changes are needed, and soon, if this country isn't going to descend into irrelevance and end up the laughing stock of the world.

I love to hear the fools repeating what their corporate masters want them to say. I love to hear them ignoring reality.

Nothing wakes people up faster than looking at somebody who boasts "I've got mine and you can't have any!"

12. Perky...like Katie Couric??? n/t

14. The Dollar Is Currently Drowning in Norquist's Bathtub

Not "floating". It's Orwellian in the extreme to claim that a sinking dollar is "floating"!
