Yay the silver lining! Small mercies -- nobody'll be able to afford this crap, but hey, at least it's cheap! Evidently this "back to school" season was the worst ever... I'm still hoping that all the stores will decide they need to liquidate all that fall stuff to make way for serious-winter stuff. *fingers crossed*

well there was new consumer spending data in the last week or two, and they knew it would be bad, but it was even worse than they expected. so watch-there will be cheap sweaters everywhere soon. banana has (or had, earlier this week at least) all their sweaters and jackets and whatnot 30% off...

but the present: i've got plans for you pricks / it's gonna be a little harder to fix

We will always have food stamps; therefore there will always be hours for me!!!

When he fixes the economy give him a gold star and a turkey dinner.
