US in Recession for a Year!

Filed Under: Um, no shit.  Seriously, these people at the National Bureau of Economic Research get paid to tell us this?  Not only has the American public been acutely aware of this, even the media has been making money selling headlines on this news for months now.  Why is this suddenly breaking news?  These idiots are probably making fat money telling us stuff we already know.  Unbelievable.
