The Dumbest Thing I Heard Today...

...was on NPR of all places. I was listening to the news when I heard the announcer say the stock market had stopped its downhill slide....

First, if anyone can make that prediction with certainty, what the hell are they doing working at NPR. Second, how can anyone say the market has stopped a downhill slide based on a single day's results.

I expect that kind of editorializing from CNN, not from NPR. The market was up. That's all that needed to be said. Anything else is mere embellishment and not worth my donations.

End rant.
