Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy

I wonder how they produce such garbage for news, when they are a professional organization. A part time blogger can do a better job of informing people than CNN does.

Here’s an interesting “Latest News” story they did about wanting food you see.
Right under that was this “news” story:
“Twinkies are a marvel of food engineering”

Maybe CNN is the news you want, just because you see it, not because it’s good for you!

Chickenpoop politicians are ducking out of what should be mandatory events if they want people to take them seriously.

I’m not sure I’d trust an analyst or reporter who in talking about the declining US dollar, fails to mention that the country’s largest trading partner has a currency trading at par when there used to be a large American dollar advantage a few short years ago. It’s those crafty Eurohpeeans they gotta worry ’bout I guess.

In the United States, a battered dollar is certain to contribute to inflation and squeeze Americans’ pocketbooks.

A weaker U.S. currency, besides pushing up the price of foreign goods, also drives up the price of commodities priced in dollars, such as oil, which have a big impact on consumer spending by Americans.

But a weaker dollar will also hurt overseas businesses. Companies that export goods to the United States may not only face weakened demand, they could also suffer tighter profit margins.

Commonfund’s Strauss believes that many foreign firms have probably already accounted for the dollar’s recent decline in their financial forecasts. Still, he warned, many of them will struggle - threatening economies overseas.

“That might be more important than our inflationary effect,” he said.

So, the major concern is that the US economy will hurt trade overseas? Yeahhhhh, suuuure.
