UNEMPLOYMENT DOWN .3% ~ UP 1.2 MILLION

That’s right… Unemployment dropped from 10.0% to 9.7% last month and the number of people unemployed went UP by 1.2 million.

COMMENTS:

The fuzzy math coming out of this administration never ceases to amaze me. They’ll come out one day with great positive numbers about something and run around yelling that the recession is over and Obama’s plan is working, then they’ll quietly revise the figures a few days later and not say a word to a soul. It’s called misinformation and disinformation. Confuse and obfuscate. Lie and cheat. That we know of, over 14 million people are now out of work. The average length of unemployment right now is seven months! What are they going to eat for dinner, Obama’s Transparency Special? "Duh, well, there may be more people out of work, but so many have quit looking for work that fewer are unemployed as a percentage of the work force." Horse crap, fellahs. If fewer people are looking for work, then the total in the workforce has declined and the percentage they say is “unemployed” goes UP.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. There’s a town in Pennsylvania that’s been burning for 48 years? (Melody ~ East Wendover, UT)
A. Centralia was a coal mining town and the coal caught fire in 1962 and still burns underground. They’re finally chasing the last residents out. You’d think with all of the global warming that the fire is causing, Al Gore and the EPA would have the fire out by now, wouldn’t you?

Q. The Cheesecake Factory makes the country’s worst sandwich? What’s that all about? (Reggie ~ Orem, UT)
A. Men’s Health rates the Cheesecake Factory Grilled Shrimp & Bacon Club sandwich at 1930 calories, 24g saturated fat and 2,965mg sodium and says it’s the worst sandwich for you. Thank God they didn’t check out my famous chill-cheese dog with fries.

Q. Do you think the American Tea Party will play a big role in the November elections? (Rochester ~ Richmond, CA)
A. Yes. By December, we’ll all be having tea and crumpets. I sure wish I owned a moving company in Washington, D.C. Maybe Harry and Nancy can share a moving van and save money?

"I take exception to folks saying that Bernanke, Obama, Reid and Pelosi are spending like drunken sailors. When I was a drunken sailor, I quit spending when I ran out of money." ~ Sen. John McCain
