This article about high food prices made me laugh, out of pity for the reporter and editor(s) who think the italicized comment is insightful:

In broad terms, the economy isn't terrible ... But it is for those Americans who are pinched by rising food and gasoline costs, and that’s a lot of folks. Half the nation’s families earn below the median family income of about $56,000. Three-fifths of American families report income under $70,000.

Yeah. Half make above the median too. That's why it's a median.

The article is correct about rising food prices, though ... I'm seeing that every time I go to the grocery store.
