Yet the Los Angeles Times, for one, has gone so far as to ask (March 20) “Could another Great Depression be lurking over the horizon?”

Yep, newspaper ad revenue is down as much as 50%. [Good riddance commie fooktards (haven't yet gotten through this front page, below the fold story from yesterday's atomic paper [and there may be differences between it and the virtual]. But glancing at the first few paragraphs yesterday, there seemed to be a bit of an oily sensation and stinky smell (so what else is new)].

John McCain returned from Vietnam determined to lead

But McCain surprised his doctors by making a dramatic comeback. With a ferocious determination to fly again and a tough physical therapy regimen, he got his wings back and not long after was awarded command of the Navy's largest aviation squadron, VA-174, at Cecil Field in Florida. Blue-chip connections in the Nixon administration helped.

A review of Navy records and interviews with more than a dozen of his former colleagues paint a picture of a commander who was lionized by his troops as a war hero and respected by aviators ... But those Navy records also cast some doubt on the importance of a claim McCain makes in his autobiography ...

And then, of course, the NYT always cries recession in an election year.

The MSM has been building up the failure of the economy story for some months now. It will peak the day before the 2008 election. The day after the election (provided and democrat wins) it will miraculously turn around because the democrat won and we now have real "hope". If McCain wins the story will be 4 more years of 'woe is me' economics.

It has been as predictable as a clock.

Doesn't "gravity" have something to do with it?
