it's official, THE RECESSION IS OVER.
would anyone beg to differ?
this is right up there with another favorite expression of the economists, JOBLESS RECOVERY.
how in the wide world of sports can you have a recovery if there aren't any jobs for the unemployed people who want to work?
as bob dylan said a long time ago, You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. the recession weatherman most certainly hasn't opened his window see what is really going on out there.
now where is this all leading you say? whilst listening to dylan's theme time radio i fell in love with this song that seems to speak of hard times:
if you have an extra 3 minutes, it's a cool song.
i love you sons of bitches with or without a recession.

So that WAS a pig I saw flying over the house this morning.
Damn,who'd a thunk it?
You say recession,
I say depression!
Let's call the whole thing off!
Let's cut the shit. Globalism has harmed us because the average worker, worldwide, is treated like shit, and thanks to globalism, we're headed towards being treated as the average worker. Choose a profession.
The standard of living is going down to the level of the rest of the world. At least their standard of living is rising! It's a good thing! Everyone should share the pain equally! It's world democracy! We're almost there!

I suggest they get their heads out of their arses...it ain't over till the fat lady sings and I don't hear anyone singing.
That's a very nice song, but the "one meatball" lyric is slightly comical. It reminds me of the "Hitler has only got one ball" lyric of Colonel Bogey. And of Chef's "chocolate salty balls".
Sounds to me like Dubya (of the "victory in Iraq" before the shooting stopped) is plying his trade as an economist - since he's such a lousy politician - and sucking at THAT also!
Even though "the war's over" in Iraq, the kids still getting killed in it swear its the best damn excuse for ongoing they've ever seen.
'You don't need a weatherman to tell you which direction the wind blows'
very true.
The scary part of this recession is how little hope everyone has. Thats the scary part.
With all due respect to the unemployed, the problem with recessions aren't the 10% unemployed, it's the 90% employed and aren't spending. A by product of our consumer oriented economies.
anon - mr burns, when pigs fly?
thims - yup, the ratio of worker's pay to ceo's pay has gone from 20 to 200. the pendulum has swung so far right it's probably broken.
cheyenne - it's a good thing they have big fat arses to accommodate their big fat heads.
gorilla - ah, chef's salty balls. a mentor if there ever was one.
ted - when did reality become a concept rather than the truth? probably a long time ago.
alpha - i would guess the unemployment rate is north of 20% when those who have given up looking, the forced part timers and underemployed are factored in. once again reality takes a hit.
I love the song...but face it..we're fucked.
It sure doesn't feel like the recession is over where I am from but hey I am no expert like those guys who made the big announcement. Tank sends his best to Ruby.
So the recession is over
Hahahahahaha....
In our fucking dreams and in the fucking news.
But there is no recession or depression in my puny little space, I saw it coming and got ready for it and I can still afford plenty of meatballs.
And there is always the neighbors dogs as backup. Or turtles, wait, there's no turtles here, but there's coons and a few geese and some deer.
I love you also, ya son of a bitch.
It's world democracy! We're almost there!
Well that's been a pretty fucking stupid experiment considering how it was done.
Right up there with "Mission Accomplished."
One nice thing about the recession being over is that the higher price of the meatballs in my local store must have been a mistake. The nice thing about the high number of unemployed and under employed will have plenty if spare time to vote on election day. Well, if they have an address to be a registered voter from. Some churches and charities offer free or cheap meals on election day. I love you and Ruby almost as much as meatballs.
mr shife - yup, trust the experts.
billy - i have more meatball than brains these days. it's been a good summer for can collecting.
secret - and we all know how that ended, or didn't end.
mr wit - it'll be interesting to see how the recession affects peoples brains in the election. the tea bag crowd don't seem to have much compassion for the poor.
Love you right back you Latin-speakin' turtle-lovin' Canaderian, you. And long time!
rocky - i don't pitch woo at just anybody. i'll be pitching long time.
Speaking of the weatherman, my financial forecast shows STORMY, WITH A HIGH PERCENTAGE FOR BULLSHIT !
Have a great weekend, anyway, Bil Pil !
Ah... clearly those folk are in the "if someone says it, it must be true" camp. Liars!
