IT'S ALL COMIN' DOWN!!!! THIS IS IT; THE BIG CHECK-OUT! NO!!!!!!!

There ... now that it's out of my system, how did you like my Chicken Little impression, bub? It gets under my skin when I read the newsboys' stories about how the market is going ape, and how we're all going down.

Let me clue everybody in. My man Dave Ramsey was on Larry King Live a few nights ago and spelled out what a recession is. So just in case any nose-in-the-air yahoos don't get it, I'll spell it out. A recession is 2 straight quarters of a declining economy. That's 6 months of down time ... and we ain't even had 1 yet.

In fact, I'll do you one better, baby. The market jumped 300 points yesterday, and it's headed even higher as we speak. Still think the economy is taking the plunge? Didn't think so. Now if you don't mind, I'll get back to getting the debt free living word out. Til next time ...
