Wall $treet Week with Fortune

And if you think folks are smoking crack around HERE...

I'm currently watching Wall $treet Week with Fortune on PBS. Let's see... they're convinced Bush will win, due to the economy. The proof? Democrats in the Iowa Caucus made the economy their #1 priority. Yeah, dipshit, and they had a record turnout! Oh, and there was a Bush quote economist unquote bragging about JOBS! After all, they've created 250,000 jobs in the last six months! Moreover, the actual unemployment benefit percentage is down! Glory halleluah! And if all goes according to Bush's plan (doesn't it always?), the deficit will be reduced by 50% (relative to GDP) in five years.

Yeah, i wrote the show a letter. Pointed out some of the stupider statements, and asked if the guests were lying or just stupid.

While writing this, they brought up a viewer question... does the stock market do better under Republican presidents, or Democrats? "The answer may surprise you!" Since 1928, the market has grown an average of 12% under Democratic presidents, and only 2% under Republicans!

Man, Wall Street analysts make us look like rocket scientists. Like Dean says, Republicans just can't handle money...
