No we don't!  Yes, we do!  Shut up!  No, you shut up first!

Check it out.

Anyway, I could go on with that skit, but here is why I say this.  One story talks about a housing glut and how the housing market is doom and gloom.

 

The other story talks about Mortgage applications up due to refi's AND new purchases:

Check it out.

 

 

How in the world can BOTH be true.  The sources are the same, CNN.  Yet they are telling different stories!   And you thought their coverage of the internet fish-house marketplace was bad....

Ron, I think they have it right now. The front page of the Asbury Park Press (one of my local papers) said the real estate market down at the shore is a little slow.

I think if you will also notice that drinking is up near media outlets. Profits in bars near these media outlets are at an all time high. Yet drinking is down?

Same source - ME! But, it is alright I have my own agenda.

ROn,

Absolutely true.   Now I can rest knowing there is, finally, a clinical name for that condition:  MPD.   One day they are pro something and the next, con.

Which reminds me of what one of my best friends says about his evalutation of our government: "If pro is a prefix for positive and con a prefix for negative, then it would be fair to conclude that the opposite of progress is "Congress."

Ron,

I think perhaps some may suffer from MPD. But I'm fairly certain that a majority of them are actually suffering from CRI. Fortunately there is a cure for CRI but convincing someone that they have CRI can be a very daunting and quite a dirty job as well.

You see, first of all someone suffering from CRI has a very difficult time seeing anything. Why?

Well, allow me to explain first exactly what CRI is.

CRI is Cranial Rectal Inversion. With this condition I'm sure you can now understand why someone suffering from this would have a difficult time seeing anything. So convincing them that they need a cure is going to be very difficult and dirty because to reach them you will have to force your own head into that same area that their cranium is occupying just to speak with them.

But, if someone is brave enough or cares about this person enough to join them in their Cranial Rectal Inversion to convince them that they need a cure then what they must tell the sufferer they need is a "Plexotimy".

The doctor will remove a large square from the victim's abdomen. He will then replace that with a piece of plexiglass. This way the sufferer will be able to see where he is going when he has his head up his (_0_).

And I fear that MPD is not the issue so much as CRI. :)

Well guys I believe the more we keep talking about 60 minutes and CNN the more we will be playing into the hands of the media. Give them enough rope (leeway) and they will hang themselves.
