I will give credit to this artist as soon as I locate the website I found it on. Ahem...it is profoundly offensive to watch/hear news about how great the economy/stock market is doing, in light of the depression this country is in (alas, no one will use this word). I feel as though I'm reading about the rich and famous in Vanity Fair when I see/hear news about how great everything is; it is in very bad taste. Reporter: straight- faced-Rupert-Murdock-spun-expression of someone who is in denial about selling their soul to the devil for a paycheck.

Edit: CBS just announced that American's are saving less than they have since the depression. How coincidental that I just used the word "depression" three hours ago?! And no one is even reading this.

According to a recent Gallup poll, over 40% of the US still thinks the Earth is less than 10k years old. What do I expect? Logic and reasoning? Truth? Truth has been commodified.
