Check out this gem from The Mercury News:
Cheney: Economic Numbers Ignore eBay Trading
Indicators measure the nation's unemployment rate, consumer spending and other economic milestones, but Vice President Dick Cheney says they miss the hundreds of thousands who make money selling on eBay.
"That's a source that didn't even exist 10 years ago,'' Cheney told an audience in Cincinnati on Thursday. "Four hundred thousand people make some money trading on eBay.'"
Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards responded that Cheney's comments show how "out of touch"' he and President Bush are with the economy.
"If we only included bake sales and how much money kids make at lemonade stands, this economy would really be cooking,"' Edwards said in a statement.
(Proof that we need to be seeing more of John Edwards on TV)
