According the latest stats, it's not only a recession we are facing, it's a he-cession. More men are losing jobs in this downturn than women. To clarify public policy for headline writers, I'll throw the following taxonomy into the fold:
We-cession: your work section gets the boot but the rest of your company keeps going; or, what your 4 year-old calls the recession
Me-cession: you get laid off but everyone else at your office gets promoted
Pre-cession: period before the recession; some called it the economic boom but now we know the glass was half-empty
Free-cession: the economy is so bad you can't even afford stuff they give away for nothing
Pee-cession: people don't even have a pot to piss in
G-session: men can't find jobs nor can they find their partners g-spot --- bad, very bad
e-session: the downturn has reduced bloggers' output to the point where they employ cheap tactics to solicit comments on otherwise pointless blog entries
