April 17 (Bloomberg) — Confidence among U.S. consumers improved in April for a second month amid signs the longest recession in the postwar era may be easing.
The Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment rose to 61.9, the highest since September, from 57.3 in March. The reading on expectations for six months from now improved. The index reached a three-decade low of 55.3 in November.
Recent reports indicate housing and manufacturing, two of the hardest-hit areas, may be stabilizing, supporting Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke’s view that the U.S.’s “sharp decline†could be slowing. An improvement in confidence may help sustain a recovery in consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of the economy.
The Collapse of the Mutant Asshat Bubble has produced a plethora of available hookers & hustlers out there. Rates have come down with the glut I am now seeing in NYC. I’m happy to provide this service (for a cut of course) at the next Friends of Brownstoner gathering. Please submit all requests by May 1.
“Have any of you ever carried on a Yahoo Im or chatroom conversation with anyone and find it so annoying that you can only pose one question at a time because their attention span limits them to just one line of chat at a time??? ”
Yup – the two most recent chats, one with a 36 yr old woman, one with a 22 yr old woman, both told me I had a weird way of typing. I hate poeple tho and always try to foreshorten conversations, that may be it.
Snappy, I can provide you a small-bodied white woman who’ll appreciate everything you serve her 🙂
Hey Asshats…chew on this…
Things are getting better…
Skittles for everyone…

BHO, Miss Muffett….better get to those Open Houses this weekend.
This war has ended and the economy is soon to be on an upward trajectory.
Dave- I am formally requesting a full-bodied black woman who appreciates budget dinners 🙂 Get back to me on what you find.
“We had a hard enough time getting the name tags, until DIBS came through. Not sure he wants to handle this assignment.”
You’re right. He’d come through with Ginseng and Hung Phat

“We’d better move up the date of the next gathering. ;)”
And make sure there’s drugs and hookers at the gathering.
