CBS Nightly News says the economy is growing fast

[meisje]

They cited the 112,000 jobs, claimed high holiday sales and then interviewed a girl who got a job as a holiday Elf at Macy's, yes, an Elf!

Anyone else see it?

1. Well, Dan Rather is done

time for yet another Faux clone to pop up.

[BlueEyedSon]

2. Most chains are forecasting a less-good-than-expected holiday

shopping season.

Hope the Kool-Aid kills the vidiots soon!

[RC]

3. Let's see how many of those great jobs

remain in January.

4. Maybe it was a re-run from the late 90's.

5. They should have interviewed

David Sedaris about that elf stuff.

6. just wait

[tuvor]

7. Does bush still need 300,000 jobs monthly

like he did before the election in order to meet expectations?

[donheld]

8. once upon a time there were three stooges

these gods died and left us three more

[sonicx]

9. 112,000 new jobs is not good, it needs to be 150,000 a month at least.

10. From what I've heard....

The shops that cater to more upper middle to upper class tastes are doing OK this holiday season, while the discount retailers that cater to the rest of us aren't doing nearly as well as they should be for the holidays.

The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class is disappearing fast.

11. Unemployed 54 Months Here - Economy, What Economy?

Don't believe the bullshit you here on TV.

[agincourt]

12. Why the hell don't they just interview Santa,

and ask him if he's glad bush got elected? Maybe ask him what he'll bring smirk for Xmas for giving him a job? What a load of shit.

[proudbluestater]

13. Economic report decidedly downbeat

That's why my PAPER says, anyway. The outlook for the holiday season dimmed Thursday as the nation's retailers reported disappointing sales for November after an uninspiring Thanksgiving weekend.

Oh, who to believe, who to believe?

14. You should see

the pension plan for holiday elves! The health care is fantastic. Too bad it ends on December 26th.

[neverforget]

15. I saw that too and was waiting for Will Farrell to make an appearance

chugging a 2 liter bottle of Coke. I swear, we are all actors in a bad movie.
