Cheney: Economy Is Better Now Because Of.....

eBay? From MSNBC's Hardblogger:

The quote machine otherwise known as VP Dicky Cheney (David Shuster)

This is the time of year when most of us in the reporting business wake up each day excited to be covering a feisty and interesting election campaign. But these days, we aren't talking about the campaign of George W. Bush or John Kerry's... we are talking about one of the most memorable quote machines in years— Vice President Dick Cheney.

Today, our Vice President suggested national employment statistics were artificially high and misleading because they miss people who make money on E-bay. Yes, he said "E-bay." Quote: "That's a source that didn't even exist 10 years ago... 400,000 people make some money trading on E-bay." But, how many of them make a living on E-bay? Details, details, details.

2. Pretty soon, the Bushies will want to place a tax on farts....

...because they contain methane. It is an untapped resource and as soon as some entrapmanure figures out how to capture human flatulence the economy will surge forward and create hundreds of thousands of new jobs for Americans and economic independence from foreign shit!

Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards said Cheney's comments show how "out of touch" the Republican ticket is with the American people.

Edwards said, "If we only included bake sales and how much money kids make at lemonade stands, this economy would really be cooking."

And don't forget all that bartering. I exchange some of the peppers I grow with eggs from my neighbor...This economy is really cooking big time!!!
