Or “doing math for the MSM”.
Today is a story in the Washington Post about how the recent sales numbers of men’s underwear indicates something good in the economy.
Apparently there has been an uptick in sales in men’s underwear.
Apparently in hard times men will delay buying underwear.
Question. When did these recent hard times start?
So then when would men really get into the “have too” times of buying new underwear?
With that in mind does this make sense?
Mintel predicts that next year, men’s underwear sales will fall by 0.5 percent, [which is less than the current decline] and as with many economic indicators, a slowing of a decline can be welcomed as a step in the right direction
Right now men need underwear that they didn’t buy during the last 12 months.
Next year men will need underwear that they aren’t buying now.
Someone get these reporters a book of sense please. Or at least give their editors some real news to report.
You know, your lack of respect for the MSM when they analyze the “ONE” and his policies, are getting annoying.
I mean, let’s talk some real journalistic observations from Mr. Intellectual Conservative himself, David Brooks: (all bow down in fealty)
That first encounter is still vivid in Brooks’s mind. “I remember distinctly an image of–we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,” Brooks says, “and I’m thinking, a) he’s going to be president and b) he’ll be a very good president.”

Nothing to see here, move along now.
Well – you must need some new underwear is all I can figure. You’re sounding a little sarcarstic there when talking about David Brooks – I mean please, surely the guy looked farther up his pant leg than just the creased part in order to come to the conclusion that “he’ll be a very good president”.
I think if I type what I’m thinking, about 15 seconds later, stun grenades would come flying through my windows and I would be never be heard from again!
