As a “Glass half full” (with a seat near the bar) kind of person, I am always looking for any positive story about the economy. I actually heard on the radio that the world’s top banks are saying that we are starting to come out of the recession. Granted, I was listening to “Beatles Radio” on the web, but I’ll take it! I also checked the stocks of Walmart, Starbucks and FedEx, and while I’ll admit that I could look at an x-ray or a stock report and not know the difference, they all seemed to be moving in the right direction with respect to a recovery. (Walmart flat, the others up a bit). So, the only thing left to do is buy underwear and we’re done! Alan Greenspan himself claims that you can predict which way the economy is heading by how much men spend on underwear. Here is what he told NPR about it a few years ago.

I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I’m willing to do my part by continuing to work hard, blowing all my money at Starbucks, and going out today to re-stock my top drawer! (And not at Walmart).
