This helps to offset the screaming headlines on Drudge about the market bottoming out.

What the stock market watchers don't think or talk about, mom-and-pop operations, and small businesses, are not driven by stock purchases or stock prices. Most people are not employed by corporations which are dependent on stockholders. That part of the economy is not affected by what the market does.

Yep, I wonder who got to Drudge? In the last couple months, I just scan his links and click on nearly nothing. I’m also going there a lot less often, it’s all just doom-and-gloom liberal garbage. If I want to see that crap I’ll just head on over to CNN, that’s your one-stop shopping for media garbage.

Regarding holiday spending, the pre-Christmas media coverage on holiday spending is always schizophrenic. They act like it’s their job to drum up sales, “Sales are down, you lazy greedy idiots, why aren’t you buying gifts like you should? Sure, just hold onto your money and spend some on yourselves instead, jerks.” Then we see stories from the very same outlets talking about how we’re a bunch of egomaniac jerks for spending so much on Christmas while people in the world are starving. Talk about not being able to get your story straight.
