i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that i think it's time that cebr called this an official recession....nm - x Nov 20, 06:17 7

  - They've been touting that for years. The previous government said "longer period of economic growth than any other rich country" - Roger More Nov 20, 06:41 2
    - if they avoid recession this time, it'll all be because of china. -- nm - mafic Nov 20, 06:55
    - "That" = "similar" -- nm - Roger More Nov 20, 06:44
- two quarters of...blah blah blah blah -- nm - ty97 Nov 20, 06:18 1

  - I need an explanation of how a lady-blasting apparatus is gay. - TFox Nov 20, 06:21 1

  - Haven't seen one, though it may exist. The themes appeared in my gmail today -- nm - ty97 Nov 20, 05:44 6
    - the link is at the botttom of your gmail screen -- nm - JaxSean Nov 20, 05:44 1
      - nevermind - here it is. -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 20, 05:48
    - It must be by browser...because I have the themes at home, but not at work. -- nm - Jim Nov 20, 05:44 3
      - mine made me enter my location before it'd change the theme. -- nm - mafic Nov 20, 06:03

- Al Franken? -- nm - lileve Nov 20, 06:23 5
  - Seriously? -- nm - Jim Nov 20, 06:25 3
    - I know who he is. Can't believe he ran for office. -- nm - lileve Nov 20, 06:31 2
      - Why? He's been outspoken about his politics for a very long time. -- nm - Inigo Nov 20, 06:34 1
        
        Many are outspoken but don't run for office. But it is a step toward quit bitching and start doing something about it. -- nm - lileve Nov 20, 06:36
