Remember that weird day earlier this week when famous wingnut pamphlet National Review made that bold anti-birther stand, saying it was really time to distance the once-respected conservative mag from the retard-right “Nobama’s the illegal alien” trailer-park circus?

Battered and confused Consumers began retroactively buying shit again in January. Change is here! (The Dow’s already down another 150 points.) [CNN/Bloomberg]
