Economy
Bush finally gets his new Christmas toy, aka the Department of Homeland Security, when what comes crashing down the chimney? Not Santa carrying UBL’s head. Not eight tiny reindeer back from precision bombing Iraq by the light of Rudolph’s nose.
The economy. Yes, it’s still the economy. Hey Shrub, look what’s still out here on the lawn. A major U.S. airline looking at bankruptcy three weeks before Christmas. Unemployment scooting up to six percent (to say nothing of the outrageous underemployment levels). Treasury Secretary and White House Economic Advisor both quitting and scurrying out of town.
Separate but related rant: will someone please remind the current newsreader at MSNBC to read all the words in her copy. Even the little ones count. Unemployment shooting up six percent is not necessarily the same as unemployment shooting up to six percent.
