Wicked Hahvahded

Because my life is an endless series of metaphors too ham-handed and on-the-nose for a John Irving novel, I heard about this on NPR while getting a root canal.

Of all the statistics pouring into the White House every day, top economic adviser Larry Summers highlighted one Friday to make his case that the economic free-fall has ended.

The number of people searching for the term “economic depression” on Google is down to normal levels, Summers said.

Hey, could be worse. Imagine how stupid a conclusion he would’ve drawn if he was a chick.

p.s. Sorry about the link to Politico; I found a couple other sources, but none with a picture that so perfectly conveys “clueless schmuck who’d say something like that.”

Meanwhile, he conveniently fails to mention the fact that online searches for “CIA minimum certain-death freefall drop onto concrete,” “refrigerator carton domicile waterproofing,” “eBay human organ average auction close price kidney,” “food-based barter economy” and “fiscal mass extinction event” are through the roof.

So now we know what Larry Summers does all day. Team of rivals!

Team of rivals!

Yeah. Ours.
