Remember Keating's "J-Curve" crap? I remember sitting on the steps out the front of a mutual friend's house the week after he blessed us with this piece of wisdom while one of these rocket scientists started spouting this crap about "it being a classic economics J curve" - 'cuz Keating told her so. Among my several degrees, one was in Economics. I gave her one of those looks that says "you know your brain is leaking out the side of your head?", and tried to explain to her that there was no such thing this side of saturn as a "classic economics J curve", "you know it's just not a thing, any more than there is a classic economics w curve". Blow me down if three months later Keating wasn't crapping on about a freakin' "classic economics W curve". There isn't a whole lot a brain cells to share among the whole lot of them. I had another friend who was a TV reporter, now she was actually really smart, so I exclude her from this bitchin', but she once told me that she always tried to find a kid to interview about any social news because you could always really on them to say something super critical.

It's a darn shame the MSM is so completely crap at reporting the news. They keep blaming the internet for their demise, when in reality its that the news has been untrustworthy for like 30 years, and gradually the peeps have just tuned out. We waste our lives on lies and half-truths.
