Exchange Rates Fluctuate!

James Joyner | Monday, March 2, 2009

In my New Atlanticist piece “Euro Drops Ever So Slightly After Bailout Rejection,” I give a YahooNews headline writer a hard time for turning an insignificant change in the dollar-euro exchange rate into a commentary on Europe’s response to the financial crisis.

Hilarity (or, at least, some historical perspective) ensues.

You're right. It's a slow news day. After all, how often can you point out that the economy's rocky pretty much all over, people are getting killed in Afghanistan, and the Palestinians and Israelis hate each other?
