It's the economy, stupid.

Sure, and bedbugs are good because they automatically exfoliate your skin.

Add to that - the stock market going down is actually a good thing:

Ingraham called the recent turmoil, “a transition,” adding that it was “good for us.”

I have long ridiculed the language of stock brokers. They'll tell you in glowing terms how well a stock or mutual fund has done over the past year, 5 years, 10 years, and then hand you a prospectus that glaringly says "Past performance is not an indicator of future performance." They talk in "points" as if you can go down to your grocery and get a carton of eggs for "8 points" They won't use "dollars" because nobody wants to hear about their stock being "down $10".

But my favourite is when the market tanks and the call it a "correction." Did anybody hear them call it an "error" when the market is up?

And did you ever wonder why, if stock brokers are so good, they bother to have clients instead of just making millions investing for themselves?

They remind me of a line in last night's "Elsbeth" episode. https://www.cbs.com/shows/elsbeth/
There was a psychic who told Elsbeth "I went to her as soon as she called" to which Elsbeth responded "Why not before?" bada-boom. Later Elsbeth noted that the psychic must have missed out on a lot of surprise parties.

I'm a big Elsbeth fan.

I didn't like her character when she was on "Good Wife" or "Good Fight" whichever, but I like this one. The character is the same, but the role is much more suited.

Both. I got tired of The Good Wife and didn't get into The Good Fight at all, so her character was new to me. In February 2025, CBS renewed the series for a third season.

Most, though not all, episodes of Elsbeth use the "howcatchem" mystery format rather than the traditional "whodunit", showing the audience from the start who the killer is, how and why they commit the crime, and how they are caught.

I knew the format, but I never knew that "howcatchem" is a name for it.

“Look at his presidency. He‘s obsessed with every issue other than the economy. You see the tariffs raising prices. You see the DOGE cuts, meaning tens of thousands of Americans are losing their jobs and being told it‘s their fault.

“You see potential cuts to Medicaid that would decimate rural health care between Trump and Musk. I’m not sure which one is Thelma and which one is Louise, but our economy is that car, and they are driving it off the cliff.”

-- Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear
