Blacker than Black indeed!

I wondered on Saturday about how this year's version of Black Friday went for retailers. Day-after reports indicated things went rather well. Frankly, I didn't find that overly surprising, as I work with large retailers and big spenders and had an idea that things were looking pretty good heading into the Holidays.

MKH took a day-after-the-day-after look at the numbers and found all kinds of exciting stuff! All of it can be summarized with this one graph:

Gone are the "black clouds," the "challenging economy," and "reluctance." Funny, the economy was "challenging" and "cloudy" pre-Nov. 7, according to the press.

I guess it's been a hell of a three weeks. Three cheers for Democrats and their Black-Friday-Fixin', Reluctance-Banishing, Cure-All Economic Elixir!

Of course, she wasn't talking about the numbers, rather she was nailing the reporting of numbers by a press who apparently have lost all signs of storm clouds on the economic horizon. Everythings coming up Sunshine, baby!
