"frontpage"

It might be on some front pages as it was when it hit 13,000, but the accompanying story will tell how meaningless the number was and how we're all in a terrible state. That was virtually the AP (natch) storyline I read in my local lib rag. The message they were sending was : The Dow hit 13,000 and most Americans are richer, SO WHAT!! Except they left out the Americans are richer part. It doesn't square with their agenda of depicting most Americans as being one paycheck away from begging on the streets.

In fact after mentioning the new record, they implied that bad times were coming. Libs are always ready to rain (or something more vulgar) on anything that conflicts with their idea that only government sponsored subsidies can help people.
