Good News...and What's the Truth?

Great poll numbers from FiveThirtyEight.

Amid the mudslinging and lie-throwing today, I found this little bit of information that indicates that the overall economic picture is worse than we're being told. Take a look at ShadowStats.

15% real unemployment, 13% inflation rate, negative quarterly growth since 2004. We've been in a recession since Bush's second term began. We've known it but no one would admit it.

And, sadly, my dad has been sending around an email blaming 2 years of dems in congress for the current problems. I pity the FOX set and the kool-aid they be drinkin' and the McShameful candidate they be supportin'

On a lighter note, from ThePoliticalCarnival a quote of the day:

"Banks now rob people."
--Randi Rhodes just now on Progressive Radio KTLK

GObama! Stay on topic...it's the economy!
