Weekend Rambler

I'm stunned: the MSM is actually reporting what a funk the economy is in . . . and their man is president in an election year. That means one of two things: (1) The economy isn't just in a funk. It's in full-on depression-mode decline, and they can't wholly ignore it any more, so they're admitting there's at least a small problem; (2) Hell has frozen over. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Among all the lousy economic facts I read yesterday, this one stood out the most: "The 69.9 per cent labor force participation rate for men is at lowest level recorded since the US government began tracking it in 1948." Translated: People are giving up in record numbers. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* If that makes you sad, check out these [seven natural depression remedies](http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/top-natural-remedies-for-depression/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). ([HT](http://lewrockwell.com/spl4/depression-remedies.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)) \* \* \* \* \* \* \* My mining stocks ([sample](http://www.google.com/finance?client=ig&q=NYSEARCA:SIL&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)) have finally begun to jump. I've been banking on a leap for the past two-plus years. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* But still the best investment these days: garden supplies. I have one of my two cold frames installed, and I'm picking up more wood chips for my Eden operation later this morning. \* \* \* \* \* \* [The creating of Kim Kunstler's garden](http://www.kunstler.com/Greenwich%20Garden%202012.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Pretty cool series of pictures. He's apparently a raised-bed or square-foot garden guy. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Sing it! "Save big money at Menard's." I bought 18 12-inch self-watering containers for $3.50 apiece ([online retail: $12.99)](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00335Q8JQ/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00335Q8JQ&linkCode=as2&tag=thedailyeudem-20&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)

\* \* \* \* \* \* \* Bookmarked for future reading: [Three Hungarian priests of my youth have been beatified and are now venerated as martyrs. An English friend may soon join them](http://www.standpointmag.co.uk/node/4590/full?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Funny Conan: "Scarlett Johansson, Kerry Washington, and Eva Longoria all spoke at the Democratic convention. This means that Obama has all about clinched the crucial 13-year-old boy vote. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Funny Ferguson: "One year Kid Rock and Tommy Lee got into a huge fistfight at the \[Video Music Awards\]. I don't remember what the fight was about. I think it was they differed over how the Pythagorean Theorem is the basis for major key scales."
