From MSNBC...

” For Valentine’s Day two years ago, Jason Jones gave his fiancée a necklace from Tiffany & Co.”
“This year, the couple is going to the park with their 2-year-old daughter, and renting a movie on the way home. It may not be the Valentine’s Day of their dreams, but faced with a steep drop in income it’s the one the couple feels they can afford.”

Now let me get this straight. Two years ago, jewelry. Today, two-year-old in the house, can't afford jewelry.

And this is the fault of the recession.

MSNBC is the journalistic equivalent of the redneck who finds birdshit on the hood of his pickup and concludes this is proof that UFO's have bad plumbing.

But hey, remember...
