Dude, I swear....

I don't know where else to write this, so I'll write it here...

Someone at the Associated Press needs to stop being bitter and putting out all these negative articles about the economy, because it almost seems tabloid like in their timing, which I think is poor.

The stock market goes up, and then low and behold the AP puts out another article about sub-prime woe's this and that. C'mon! It's old news, you only have to report it once. Leave the stock market alone! Repeating things people already know after Wall Street has an honest good day, is just bad reporting.

Ok...[sigh], I'm done venting. I "see" patterns, and I just think there is some sort of collusion or funny business with the way the Associated Press puts out information.

The jobs report fluctuates every month!

Housing Sales are down compared to last year...ok fine! But houses are still being bought and sold.

I get confused sometimes - the way the media "reports" the health of the economy sounds conflicting. One day, consumer spending is up; then jobs are down; then payroll is down, oh no wait, payroll is actually ok. I don't know, if I string all the articles together, I bet it will be even more apparent...unfortunately I don't have enough time on my hands to do it.

Whew, ok, I'm done venting. At least my QB in Fantasy Football did well this week. :)

it's an AP conspiracy to keep wages in check despite oncoming inflation. 'what do you mean you want a raise? look at the economy... we're all tightening our belts." unfortunately i'm not wearing a gucci belt.
