The ominous music buzzes on the teevee. The deep voice informs you that something dire is happening.

Lotsa Vacation
I just learned that President Bush has taken a total of 506 days of vacation in the 7.5 years he’s been the big cheese. That’s a bit over 67 days a year, or about 10 weeks.

The D Word
A Recession is when your neighbor loses her job,
A Depression is when you lose yours.
