Glenn Reynolds and "Dude, where's my recession?": a timeline.

With the Dow down another 700 today, I thought it was time to revisit one of Putz's pet phrases. Don't think we'll be seeing too much more of it, do you?

August 28, 2008:

DUDE, WHERE'S MY RECESSION? (CONT'D): Not to say things are hunky-dory -- I'm worried about inflation -- but this doesn't look like a recession.

DUDE, WHERE'S MY RECESSION? (CONT'D): My own prediction: If Obama is elected in November, the press will spend a lot of time explaining why a recession is actually a good thing for America!

DUDE, WHERE'S MY RECESSION? (CON'TD): Well, it’s early days, to be fair, but so far the Great Depression 2008 is shaping up to be a Great Disappointment. Not so much The Grapes of Wrath as Raisins of Mild Inconvenience.

May 2, 2008

DUDE, WHERE'S MY RECESSION? (CONT'D): Chicken Little Alert, or how to make good news sound like bad news.
