The Wall Street Journal has a humor columnist now! We'd make our own little funny about them laughing as the world burns (or the economy recesses, whatevs), but, really, no one is actually laughing at this. "We've called some of our best recessions in the shower or while making an omelet or fishing in Ireland. Our fifth recession, 'Data From a Distant Realm' (Capitol-EMI, 1969), which went platinum, was done in three days in Ringo's basement." It's no "Laughter in Uniform." [WSJ]
