"It's Bad You Know"

R.L. Burnside spreading the gospel:



The Misery ...

-GM needs money now, or else. GM is in such dire financial straights that it needs to line up a federal aid package before president-elect Barack Obama takes office in January, the automaker's chief executive said Monday.

-Circuit City pulls the plug on 155 stores, files bankruptcy.

- Los Angeles based Security Pacific Bank has been shut down by the Feds. FDIC now calling the shots.

-The Mailman has left the building. Postal Service announces 40,000 layoffs, first time in history.

But it's not all bad...

-Starbucks' Profits Down 97%. In contrast, Beer is sitting pretty!

-Russian Mafia May Profit from Bad Economy. See, it's all in your attitude! The glass is half full, not half empty!

And of course, Misery loves anyone that keeps it real, and can actually make a website that tracks the pain!
