I have and will take continued steps to be nimble enough to not choose such a career path (I'm currently in sales; was previously in management).

A trnansient society in the making.

I noticed on NPR this story was discussed and I was surprised that in the narrative flow, President Bush was not implicated for any bad economic news. That puzzled me - why would they pass up ANY chance to say something bad about W. or GOP

I figured it out, though. In 2006 and 2008 and 2010, it probably will swing better for the Democrats, if economic news is not associated with any President or party. If mushy middle people associate the economy with the party in power, and the economy is good, they won't want to vote the Dems in. So...break the association as much as possible.
