Sweet. Will the MSM ever learn? I really wonder what is going on in Journalism schools these days. I’m quite certain that finding a story basically involves reading some other news Web sites, and then confirming that story involves reading the same story on some other news Web site. Check your sources people. (Keep in […]
I think I may start a new category for unexpected good news. The economy, consumer spending, how well a president gets along with another head of state… Just today, Bloomberg.com has a new one; Construction Spending in the U.S. Unexpectedly Rose.
