Some might take schadenfreuistic pleasure in knowing that the Enzyte man has been convicted of fraud (as well as many other crimes). (thanks, bonerici)

More top economists now forecast recession: 45 percent predict downturn this year, up from one in four last September

Home sales fall to lowest level since 1999: Median price down nearly 5 percent from a year ago, Realtors report

Wholesale prices jump in January -- "Inflation at the wholesale level soared in January by the fastest pace in 16 years, pushed higher by rising costs for food, energy and medicine."

I love that economists are still "forecasting" a recession when many of the current indicators are at levels not seen since the 1930's.

hmm, major recession in the US? Whats the chances of a low grade Depression happening? ("a recession is when your neighbor loses his job; a depression is when you lose your job.")
And would you travel to Europe or elsewhere for work if it got bad?
