So, you're saying that the folks at the Times don't really BELIEVE that things are economically going to hell in a handbasket? Given their worldview, I suspect they do believe it....and everything else they push....and even that their own poop doesn't stink.

Bush "saluting" Clinton?

If it were me it would be a one finger salute.

You asked: What the heck is going on? ... economic activity is slowing

According to a reporter I know at the Times, there are seven layers of editors that check or "improve" important stories, so there can be major delays in reporting the news. In fact, the news-story cycle at the Times is rumored to be just slightly shorter than the economic cycle, so sometimes they get out of sync -- and that's before considering the implications for political campaigns.

Now why exactly is this "news" to the Times? I've known this for over a year now.

I just heard on the radio that the Index of Leading Economic Indicators has gone down for the last five months, hinting at a less-than-stellar economy in the upcoming months. Oh well...MUD
