The News Roll

Dear readers of The Long and Continuous Emergency,

I just added two news rolls on the right side of the blog for your reading (dis)pleasure. The rolls will be constantly updated with new articles I read them, so please check back daily!

On the Front Page...

"We knew things were bad on Wall Street, but on Main Street it may be worse. Startling official statistics show that as a new economic recession stalks the United States, a record number of Americans will shortly be depending on food stamps just tohttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif feed themselves and their families.

Dismal projections by the Congressional Budget Office in Washington suggest that in the fiscal year starting in October, 28 million people in the US will be using government food stamps to buy essential groceries, the highest level since the food assistance programme was introduced in the 1960s."

UPDATE: If any of my readers would like to sign up for food stamps in New York City, you can find out everything you need to know here.
