I find it amusing that every bit of good news about the economy seems to be that it’s bad, but just not as bad as it was before, or less bad than expected. If economists and newscasters were truly telling it like it is, it would sound like this. Oddly, even though every kid over six uses language like this, along with the kids on the Disney channel and every animated cartoon, most newspaper editors would have trouble with it. I’m not kidding. And we wonder why newspapers are dying. We’ll see how many dare to run such a racy  caption.
