"Spending cuts may be answer to slow economic growth"

This can't possibly be true.  The Won - my personal savior - and my NPR have told me that cuts in Government (note, "G") spending inevitably lead to rioting in the streets, as well as rains of blood.

Have I been lied to?

Remember: things could be better.

The DJIA hit another record high yesterday, even as NPR was talking about an ADP report that 200,000 people found jobs in February.

It could have been better, people,  If only the Rethuglicans would back down.

"Despite sequester cuts, Dow Jones Index reaches new high"

I just can't understand this.  I was assured the country would grind to a halt and 170 million people would be thrown out of work

Is there sort of Rethuglican Jedi mind-meld at work here?

It's raining, here in Atlanta

No falls of blood, nor of frogs, but it's only a matter of time.

I'm sure of it.

Meteors, people! Meteors!

If a meteor hits the earth, the Rethuglicans and their sequester will have a lot for which to answer.

Think how much better the economic news could be...

As the DJIA hits historic highs, I can't help but think how much better the economic news would be if the Rethuglicans had stopped the sequester from going forward.

Deli of the Damned

What day is it?  The sequester has been going on for so long, I am beginning to lose track of time.

Today I stopped at Goldberg's Deli on the way to work.  It was filled with people reduced to eating small donut-like bits of bread smeared with some sort of thin cheese, with sliced purple onion and thin, oh-so-thin, slices of some foul-smelling fish.  Every face had that hollowed-out look that bespoke oncoming starvation and death.  In every eye you could see fear for the future.  All hope gone.  The only change the nearness of the grave.  Truly, the deli of the damned.

Continuing on to work, I listened to the morning truth on National Public Radio.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average will plummet today, holders of government sinecures will begin receiving notice that they'll have to take seven furlough days between April and October (the horror of it all!), the sequester is all the fault of the Rethuglican party, which was warned of the consequences of the sequester, but has now - somehow - found ways of making our Czar of Czars, His Imperial Majesty, Our Lightworker, President of all Presidents Obama take the blame.  I refuse to accept this.  NPR, far from broadcasting the truth, is fallen to lying.

Oh, my beloved country, that it has come to this.
