Doctor to patient:


Great news! Your cancer continued to spread throughout your body....but the afflicted body parts were fewer than what we had forecasted.

Both excellent points. Unfortunately, most people are so desperate for hope and a little good news that they'll gobble up this article.

Ever feel like the kid with poor parents who try to keep his expectations down so he won't be disappointed?

benes, great news, the extended benes are now the new welfare program. Massachusetts gives 79 weeks is broke but who cares, Uncle Ben will print the money and we will grow our way out,lol. The USA is a banana republic with a military.

Why don't they forecast 10,000,000 jobs will be lost next month, and when only 500,000 are lost Obama can say he saved 9,500,000 jobs....AND then the recession would officially be over!!

Economic crisis averted!
