My favorite line from this Sunday's New York Times Frank Rich editorial about the rapidly sinking economy:
"What are Americans still buying? Big Macs, Campbell’s soup, Hershey’s chocolate and Spam — the four food groups of the apocalypse."
Too funny and very sad.
That's so true. Guaging spam sales is a first indicator of a downward economic trend.
