Feel Like a Whiner?

By Baxter

It's only Wednesday, and it's already a horrible week for Wall Street.

And once folks receive their quarterly 401(k) statements, September could be the cruelest month.

But to John McCain and his economic advisers — remember Phil Gramm? — the fundamentals of the economy are strong. If you don't believe that, you're in a "mental recession" and a "whiner."

We cats are wondering how many voters, battered by these economic storms, will feel like voting Republican come November. After all, most of us aren't married to beer heiresses with bank accounts in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

But John McCain is.

And Phil "Nation of Whiners" Gramm is his chief economic adviser.

Time for a change? We cats think so. Because otherwise, we'll all have egg on our faces.
