It is time to mark the one year anniversary of the AP's groundbreaking report on the state of... everything.

Key quote from that momentous article:

"It is pretty scary," said Charles Truxal, 64, a retired corporate manager in Rochester, Minn. "People are thinking things are going to get better, and they haven't been."

Unfortunately I don't have the kind of access to retired corporate managers in Rochester, Minn. that the AP does, but I imagine that if we were to ask him, Truxal would say the same thing today. Everything is seemingly still spinning out of control. Batten down the hatches, and wait another year for the time when the AP can report that everything is coming back into control.
