Leave it to the well trained conservative press to put an 'silver lining' spin on the misfortune of middle class Americans. Its very unfortunate that the practice of 'the other side of the story' sound bytes that made Paul Harvey such a populist has been turned into a tool of exploitation for those bent on propagandizing the benefits of unemployment for the masses. In the face of such a grand failure of spin in this nation on fear politics, shill games, and radio talk shows all but blaring out from public speakers across the nation playing the psuedo-patriotic psychodrama they espouse, one wonders when they will collapse from the weight of their own hollow carcasses.
