Hear, Now, The News

Realistically speaking, there’s only one real story out there, nowadays – we’re in a “deep recession,” on the brink of a “great depression,” goin’ broke, hittin’ the skids. Our economy’s in the toilet, spiraling downward like this morning’s excrement. But all that’s a little depressing, so, to divert our attention, the media’s been focusing on other stories like the chimp attack, the whacked-out Casey Anthony, the equally whacked-out Octo-mom, the missing 5-year- old, Haleigh Cummings, and, most recently, Chris Brown and Rihanna. Oh, this just in: I just learned this morning that Chris and Rihanna are getting ready to record… together! That’s big! Bigger even than the engagement of Robert Cummings, father of the missing Haleigh, to his 17-year-old girlfriend, Misty Croslin, which was yesterday’s hot topic. Meanwhile, my 700 shares of GE are worth less than the 2003 Hyundai I’ve been driving around. I won’t be trading up anytime soon.
