Did anyone see Santa's elf give the economic forecast on CBS?
Some talking head was giving the optimistically gloomy economic shopping forecast for Christmas along with the explanation that hiring far fewer workers was a sign of vigor in the industry.

They further asserted that things were picking up and to prove it, they interviewed an elf in front of Santa's Village at the Mall!

I swear I am not making this up. The perky little elf said that she thought the job market was looking up "a little." So there you go.

:D

2. Faith-based Economics.
That works like windshield wipers on a duck's ass.

3. The idea of finding the silver lining in a job that comes with an elf suit
and ends on December 24 would be much funnier if it wasn't so tragic.
Maybe that elf thinks Santa will take her back to the North Pole with him.

That had to be a Republican elf. Any Democrat would have said through pursed lips "I am in a freakin' elf suit. I have a degree from an Ivy league school and I am shoving candy canes in the sticky mouths of screeching little monsters! You want to know if I think the economy is picking up?"

Can you kill a person with a candy cane?

6. The only thing I can think is Dan Rather is screwing with us
for fun. I hope he interprets everyone of the talking points from the WH this way.

I did almost die laughing. What is the matter with me?
