Cheney: Dconomic Stats Miss eBay Sales
You probably heard this one already, but I can't resist. Recently VP Dick Cheney said that you can't go too closely by the economic indicators that we have out there (they're not too pretty) becuase over the last few years, they didn't take into account the sales on eBay!
So basically what he's saying that we're missing the money being made by folks so broke they've turned to cyber-hocing their belongings on line and THAT somehow helps to show how good we're doing in this economy.
you know, i don't think the baseball cards up for grabs on eBay fixes out average workers seeing the worst movement in their wages in over 50 years. i really don't.

That's hilarious! He's right though...those economic stats don't include the Hotwheels cars I sold at my garage sale either...depending on the condition, we're talking at least enough to buy a Star Crunch or Swiss Cake Roll (the regular size, don't be gettin all greedy, Dick, and getting the extra large!
