No news is good news but old news was better. Sometimes I wish we had more old news instead of the current barrage of doom and gloom. Markets are down, unemployment is up, we have daily reports of blatant lies in the MSM shoring up a failed congress and a worse presidency. The only light at the end of the tunnel might not show itself until November.

Even that’s an iffy proposition, as flipping congress into a conservative majority won’t have any immediate effects on the economy as long as current spending programs remain in place. History proves that welfare states are unsustainable, and with close to 50% of the U.S. populace working in government jobs paid for by those who don’t, things look pretty bleak.

It’s going to get worse before it gets better. I’d rather read about meat driving girls sex crazy instead, and that’s a great cynical lead-in to an Overnight Open Thread.
