I especially like this part:
Giving historically tracks the health of the overall economy, with the rise amounting to about one-third the rise in the stock market, according to Giving USA. Last year was right on target, with a 3.2 percent rise as stocks rose more than 10 percent on an inflation-adjusted basis.Emphasis added.
What? The economy is in the crapper. Every newspaper and liberal rag (but I repeat myself) has been clamboring about how horrible our economy is and the bread lines are starting to form. I even heard from liberals that if George W. Bush was re-elected, we'd start rationing goods and services again.
Karl Rove strikes again... I question the timing and I demand an investigation!
