Got to get a chuckle from Harper

Stephen Harper, an economist by training, is the PM that could not predict the coming economic storm even as late as two weeks before it stuck in full force. This is the same yahoo who goes to the G20 meeting in Britain and has the cohones to state that we are over the worst of it and that things should start improving.

What he actually said was, "Notwithstanding that the employment effects are growing, becoming real on people, the worse aspects of instability, I do believe are behind us." That sounds pretty positive. But then he follows up with a statement that he can't tell us when the end will be but everything will be stable from here on out.

Interesting. He can't see the oncoming train wreck but he can tell us when it is past.

Typical economist. Who says you can't have it both ways?
