Waiting for the media to put a positive spin on this GDP number.

If they were true to their 2000-2008 form they'd lead with this story, and follow it up with Gallup's poll showing Obama tied with W as the least popular second term president in recorded history.

As they are, though, I'm listening to ABC News lead with a gun story and following up with a story quoting an economist saying this contraction is indicative of a recovering economy.

As I type this, no sh*t.

At this point, media reporting is the best laugh I get on a daily basis.

I used to think that George Orwell was a prophet. Then I was more Ayn Randian. Now, I think that they BOTH could very well have been right. :-)

Wow. You have to hand it to them. A pile of crap, I mean.
