That makes 9.

As in NINE STRAIGHT MONTHS of jobs lost.

Still think "Trickle-ON" economics works for you, McCain/Palin supporters?

Still think this costly war ISN'T part of our overall problem?

STILL think "deficits and debt don't matter"?

Still think that 8 years of bad Republican economic policy and corporate gladhanding is going to be cured by MORE bad Republican economic policy and corporate gladhanding?

But hey, by all means cast your vote for Cotton Hill and "the mom down the street, you betcha". It's not like we have a country that's in massive need of a new direction or anything like that.

Go ahead and not take elections seriously. Do whatever that Sky Daddy tells you. Keep fighting this unwinnable occupation and believing you'll be rich and above it all someday.

Even if it's about making major/minor changes to a ridiculously flawed system, it's still better than putting a bullet in the USA's heart.

1. And they still have trouble calling it a recession!

[HughBeaumont]

2. God Forbid we use the "R" word!

That might add some urgency to the problem!

3. I finally heard someone on NPR say it wasn't a matter of IF we are in a recession but how BIG

of a recession we are in.
