THE BEIGE BOOK

Reports from the Federal Reserve Districts suggest that economic activity generally remained weak from late November through early January. But while there are still indications of caution, there are also scattered reports of improvement. The Dallas and San Francisco Districts report a continued decline in activity, while the Cleveland District indicates that the regional economy appears to be in the process of bottoming out. Economic activity remained slow or weak in the Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Kansas City and St. Louis Districts. Activity was mixed according to the Atlanta, Minneapolis and Richmond Districts and showed further signs of rebounding in the New York District.

there is a level of anger with their rants that makes it hard to hear what they are saying.

I don't pay attention to Falwell; but I do see this with Coulter. While I agree with her most of the time, she does seem to have a tough time controlling her type -A behavior.

It's really there on both sides, though. I find James Carville and Paul Begala simply intolerable to listen to. I think it is because they have been elevated to some kind of super-talking-head status by the media, when in fact, their output is so partisan it is insubstantial.
