We argued way back when that Harvard should have fired Larry Summers for failing to stand up and act like a man after he gave those lady professors the vapors.

the economic free-fall has ended. The number of people searching for the term “economic depression” on Google is down to normal levels, Summers said.

That’s a very strange definition of good news. By the way, even though the traffic is down since last September — when it really did seem that the world was poised for a new Great Depression — the Google search currently produces 8,700,000 entries for economic depression. Yikes!
