And when objects fall, they tend to go downward

Calvin Coolidge once famously remarked that "When people are out of work, unemployment results."

Well, Bloomberg quotes Fed chairman Ben Bernanke as observing that "joblessness, home foreclosures and weak lending to small businesses pose challenges to the economy as it recovers from the worst recession since the 1930s."

No fooling.

Actually Bernanke was merely making some rather reasonable observations on the current status of the recovery. But it's a strangely-worded lead even so.
