My favorite headline of the week...

From the Washington Post: "U.S. Downturn Picks Up Steam"

Journalists are running out of perjoratives for just how bad this economy looks -- so now we're using superlatives?

"Economy out-performs Great Depression (in terms of job losses)!"

The truth is, there IS a kind of train-wreck fascination about all of this. It's like watching a disaster in slow motion.

Even more fascinating, however, will be the slog back to prosperity. I'm looking forward to THIS headline: "U.S. Downturn Runs Out of Gumption."
