This Recession Stuff Is So Predictable [Recessionomics]


The Way We Live Now: Typically. Everyone gets poor and next thing you know couples are splitting up, families are crowding into small apartments, rich kids are battling poor kids, and everyone's giving up their career to sell beer. Typical.

Look at this scientific evidence: A census, by our broke government. What did they find? Declining property values, increasing divorces, more people living in smaller spaces, immigration's slowing, less health insurance, blah blah blah.

Typical! Any jerk could have just surmised these things without going to the trouble of doing a census, which probably cost lots of money we don't have, btw. Oh look, "The search for employment is forcing more couples into long-distance relationships." Big surprise! Tell me something else I already know! Glad I took the time to skim professional newspaper websites while drinking Diet Mountain Dew so I could learn this amazing information! Rather than just already knowing it by common sense, which I did!

Maybe the media can find a fairy tale-level morality play about rich and poor people to write about? Ah yes: In China the rich kids ride around in their fancy cars running over the poor kids and they don't give a whit until the poor kids have had just about enough and the whole is ready to explode, like, I don't know, let's say a powder keg.

Boy yea we never heard of that one before, except on like Saturday morning cartoons, forever. An even older story: the recession-inspired descent into alcoholic despair. "Stephen Valand, 23, and Erica Shea, 25, quit their jobs earlier this year to start the Brooklyn Brew Shop, which makes gallon beer-brewing kits sized for New York City apartments." You're too young to be beer-soaked winos, Brooklyn creative underclass. Give it another five years at least.

[I'm just kidding I love these recession stories, that's how I write this column! Are you kidding me? Keep up the great work! Pic via.]

How to find ideas to post new article in your blog    阅读原文»   It is true that sometimes being a blogger may face situations where I would personally like to call it your brain juices got dried up as you have pretty much ran out of topic to blog and you are in crisis as your readers are anxiously waiting for your new posts but you are unable to give in. That’s when you will probably come with excuses like I just posted last week although that post was more directly towards the newbies who stop themselves from making money but it’s still pretty much the same even though you consider yourself not a newbie. The fact is that ideas are everywhere and I mean everywhere if you know where to find it and know how to leverage it. You may be surprised that sometimes these ideas are just right in front of you but you are not observant enough to convert these ideas and turn it into your blog post.

Lindsay Lohan Breakup Confirmed by Lohan, Locksmith, Police [Gossip Roundup]

Farewell, last season's Suri Cruise fashions. Goodbye, Amy Winehouse's bathing suit. Adieu, humanoid version of Lauren Conrad. And so long, LiLo and SamRon's fairytale romance. Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left."
