I realize that making fun of USA Today for publishing bullshit is the same brand of déclassé assholery as pushing someone in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs, but I couldn’t resist sharing this particular bit of journalistic brilliance:
What a shockingly astute piece of economic analysis! There appears to be some stupid motherfucking ceiling in the way of the economy! Quick — someone call Ben Bernanke and share the news!
But is anyone really surprised? Of course it would be the nation’s most widely circulated newspaper (2.1 million copies, if you can believe it) that finally figured out the real problem at work here. The recession is no match for the quick wits of USA Today‘s editorial staff. Let’s knock down this ceiling and get on with our lives already.
Oh, and special kudos to Google News for placing that article well above the fold on my homepage (and universally above nonsense from the dimwits at other publications, like The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal). Whatever that ranking algorithm is, it’s working.
