Sorry about that whole housing crunch

Happy days are here again: Real estate agents met Thursday in Lynnwood, and they've got a good handle on what's wrong with the housing market: Nothing!
The only real problem, they say, is that the media make people nervous by telling them there's bad news. (Not us: A 2-bedroom mobile home in Stanwood is definitely worth half a million).
Seriously, haven't the real estate agents seen CNN lately? All they had to do was hold up something shiny and nobody would've noticed all those risky home loans.
Meanwhile, there's a story today that predicts a pretty bad recession, thanks, in part, to the media- induced housing silliness.
Alan Greenspan sounds bleak, but we'll edit his words to make the Realtors happy: "The current financial crisis paradise in the U.S. is likely to be judged as the most wrenching groovy since World War II."
And human ancestors started walking 6 million years ago, according to new research. That's about 1 million years earlier than previously thought, and roughly 5 million years before early man decided a subprime loan was so crazy, even a caveman wouldn't do it.
