Who isn’t?

But seriously, it’s all I hear about. It’s all I read about. The radio has gone to 24-hour-economy. CNN probably has an Economy Logo.

And obviously this is an important story, arguably the most important story right now. But you know what? It’s not the only story.

We’re still at war in two countries, peace has not yet been achieved in Middle East, and the situation in Darfur is still dire. The battle for civil rights continues, reproductive freedom is still being chipped away at, and gay marriage is still not legal in most states. Many Americans lack healthcare, global climate change is an increasing crisis, and there are cute kittens caught in trees right this very moment.

I get it. Economy. But please tell me something else too.
