I did not know, until I read this post, that I am addicted to recession porn. How awful! I heard this term on CNBC, but thought it needed a better definition:

CONSUMER-LESS ECONOMY; In which the “have’s” barricade themselves out of reach from the “have not’s”, and commence to party it up, as if nothing ever happened.

ps. I did not know, until I read this post, that I am addicted to recession porn. How awful!

What would that be? "Pollyanna Bloomers"? Franklin411, Cognos -- gimme a hand here. Duh-oh! All I had to do was read the entry in front of me. Thanks, deadhead ... "Recovery porn" it is.
