One-Liner: Remembering the Dow Jones
July 28, 2009 by William K. Wolfrum
Remember the good old days, about six months back, when the Dow Jones was the most important economic indicator on the planet for every news organization? Not so much anymore.

I’m actually on a conference call right now. They’re going by consumer confidence, credit, commercial real estate, and the Chinese economy. They’re saying that three of the four have seen rock bottom, but commercial real estate continues to drop. Fun times.
Bill, this whole “vacation” thing seems to have thrown off your usually spot-on political perception.
The reason the Dow Jones was important back then was because it was proof that Obama was attempting to sink the economy. Today, we know that Obama’s *real* plan is to destroy the livelihoods of the hard-working insurance folks while single-handedly revoking the god-given right of police officers to arrest uppity black folks (all while allowing G Gordon Liddy & the rest of the American public to view only four or five pieces of proof that he actually is an American).
Thank goodness for the mainstream media — cuz if we were stuck getting all our news from *you,* your lack of meme-obsessiveness might mean we would never know what the Really Important Issues really are.
Is Dow related to Chipper?
