You Say Recession, I Say Depression


So I was watching the news today and a man had the nerve to say that we are in a "mild recession" and we are no where near the actual economic definition of a depression, so people should stop saying that term. ..... I believe he may be smoking some good drugs to even have the nerve to say this.

Monday 71,000 people were laid off and it continued through the week, two families died in murder suicides this week due to unemployment, United States Postal Service says if things do not get better they may have to go to 5 days a week versus their six (Which won't be a huge change for me since besides stealing my Essence Magazine my postal worker only comes every other day) and finally the Girl Scouts are going to start putting less cookies in a box!! So he may not think we are in a depressing but whats going on is mad DEPRESSING. To me thats enough for me to use any term I please and for him to sit on down!

Other's who need to sit down in this Depression are a wealthy couple in Florida who paid $150,000 for what a South Korean laboratory claims is the world's first commercially cloned dog, Lancelot. Lancelot Encore is reportedly an exact duplicate of Lancelot. These fools spent 150k for a dog!! While I sit here and eat Top Ramen years out of college they are spending money on Lassie 2.0. For $150,000 I'll go fetch...... I mean it is a Depression.........
