Jeepers creepers, a lot of readers are angry about my posting of the WH numbers on the economy. Come on people. Saying it was from the White House alone should make it clear there’s a political bias. If I’d said, “take these with a grain of salt” or “of course, this is only one side of the story” it would have been an effort in redundancy to all but the politically and economically illiterate (though nicely clichéd for National Cliché Day). It’s hardly as if I’ve never posted economic bad news before. And to the extent I thought about it at all, my intent was to put the White House’s version out because you won’t hear or see it almost any place else. See this post I put up earlier, which formed my thinking. Oh, and lighten up a bit in the process.

Update: From a reader:

Yeah, it’s not like yours is a conservative publication or anything like that. What next…..blog posts about Mitt Romney? Geez-o-pete!
