Statistical blubber

So it turns out that the downturn in the GNP in the last quarter of last year wasn't 3.8, but instead 6.2.

That's only off by....well, just a little....you know....not so much.....

ONLY 40% !!!!

But trust us, folks. We know what we're doing. (Whatever you do, don't scare people, feed them the bad news a little at a time.)

They're talking about an even bigger drop in this quarter.

But good news, people! The second quarter of 2009 should only drop 1.7%!

Yeah......right.....
