It's official: Recession since Dec. '07

[kelber at mindspring.com]

In NYC, we have a superior economic index:  the Pizza-token index.  Since at least the '60s (when I first noticed), a slice of pizza cost the same as a subway token.  For the past year or so, the index has been totally out of whack.  Subway ride:  $2.00, pizza slice: a minimum of $2.50, on average.  Clear sign that the economy is running amok.
