Employment drops to 10%!

First - Da da da da daaaaaa!

Second - Bullshit!

3 Not that cold yet. Wait a few days. Gonna get down to around 7 in these parts.

4 Well then I call BS on Hussein!

5

The forecast is for some white stuff to fall from the sky. What's up with that?? I haven't seen that stuff since January of 2007 or something.

I'll pass, m'kay?

6

Slugging it out?!  You guys been slugging it out?!

And you didn't tell me?

Howard Kurtz said you were!  Washington Post!  He would know!

Don't lie to me, dammit! 

Next time I want in!

7 Obama has accidentally recovered some manufacturing jobs.

Temporary jobs, but I will give him mad props for this.  MRAPs are badass.

Upon further peer review...

Yer SOL, Mama.

Well, the kids will be ecstactic and there shouldn't be enough to make it a pain to deal with, so I guess I'll survive...

re: lingerie football

photo #7 comes close to 'illegal contact'

and the NY quarterback has a nice throwing motion, or something

11 It's cold out there eeevvverrry day.. let just hope this presidency doesn't repeat.

OH DAMN!! unemployment is down YIPPEE!!! can we say "holiday hires"? followed by "holiday fires" to, yet again, drag the unemployment rate back up.

12

>Not that cold yet. Wait a few days. Gonna get down to around 7 in these parts.

7 would be a heatwave here in Denver Metro this morning

13 NEWS ALERT!

PAB is about to answer the age old question of why do you have to pay toll fees on roads at the same time you pay taxes for their upkeep!

hahahahahahahaha

PAB is teh hawt but I don't need her to answer the age old question of why water is wet.

14 it's like, none point none degrees

15 Looks like the decline (I see we're not hiding this decline *smirk*) comes from people who have given up looking for work.

Unlike this kid.  I'm guessing he succeeds, but only because he's looking for marketing/sales work.

16 How is it that the "initial jobless claims" number is averaging 500,000 per week, and yet somehow only 11,000 jobs were lost? Have the global warming "scientists" been brought in to help with these numbers?

17

>PAB is about to answer the age old question of why do you have to pay toll fees on roads at the same time you pay taxes for their upkeep!

it's the madness of King George!

18

Denver that bad? Crap, that stuff is heading my way.

Oh, and for Mama, it isn't the snow that's bad, it's the sleet that will kill you.

19 Ugh, don't click on the HA Headlines to the Andy McCarthy article. Just continue only being upset about the weather. It's much easier and you won't scream at the computer.

20 Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooold out there today. Crank up the Pennsylvania Polka!

21
I just want to say to all of you who fell for "Opinion's" trick that...

you're all ninnies and should turn in your Moron^tm cards.

22 Brrrrr, it's cold! I could sure use a nice hot bowlful of global warming. You too? Try the: Fruit of the Poison Tree, Tarts From the Poison Fruit It's fiskalicious!

Hey - I've got an idea!  Let's just kill our soldiers before they enlist.  You know, cut out the middle man.

yeah, it's one of those mornings where your nose hairs turn to little icicles as soon as you step outside

but trust me- even though it's none degrees with snow on the ground, sometime today I will see someone either wearing flip flops or shorts

HH, my mom is dealing with frozen fog, if you can believe that. It makes everything slippery.

I lived in and around Philly for years, so I'm no stranger to ice, sleet, frozen rain, wet snow and basically anything that can happen in 30-40 degree weather. Let me tell you about the Great Ice Storm of '94. Or was it '93??

27 Molly Line (red headed babe) is on Fox now with a toad in ME explaining how he has had to add jobs for making Christmas Wreaths.

Problem???

Looking in the background 99% of his employees look like Hispanic persons. 

Can you say illegals?

28

Hey now, don't you tell me you don't remember me 'cause I sure as heckfire remember you.

For some reason that line has been rattling around in my head for the last few days.

29

I resent any post regarding lingerie football that doesn't include a link.

Sorry about you folks out west dealing with snow.  I've got an 11:00 tee time, but  it's probably the last round of the season.  We've got white stuff predicted for the weekend here.

After reading the dead threads from last evening, I took a peek over at HA.  There was a big ol' dust up regarding Palin's comments about birthers.  Made for an interesting read as Allah skipped a pretty solid interview to focus on a single issue.

30 PAB now asking age old question of why Tiger cheats on his hawt wife with someone who is less attractive.  Had to go to a psychiatrist for that one.

PAB I know you are not that dumb babe.

31

Allahpundit minces words -

Says, in truth, he is not obsessed with Palin - it's love.

No - really!

Well not really.  Sorta...  maybe...

Nah -  just obsessed and he still hates her.  And pretty much anyone one who doesn't think like he does.  Really.  And he's throwing that come hither glance toward Sully.  (I kinda made that up outta thin air)  Could be, though.

I remember an Ice Storm about that same time that essentially froze Maine.

That the same one?

And Ice Fog? Not quite sure I've heard about that. At least have never experienced it here in Kansas. But I'm not from around these parts.

34 How is it that the "initial jobless claims" number is averaging 500,000 per week, and yet somehow only 11,000 jobs were lost?

Womyn's Studies majors are doing the math?  "Today we're going to explore our feelings about being oppressed by the irrationalness of pi."

35 JUST A BIT TOO CONVENIENT FOR MY TASTE:

Just a day or so, ADP came out with their job numbers and we lost over 100,000 jobs, pretty much as expected.

Today, the government comes out with THEIR numbers and we are SHOCKED to find that we only lost 10,000 jobs and are adjusting prior months losses downward another 160,000 jobs to get a nice clean 10%?

This is a MISS by economists of 120,000 jobs?  Huh?  And no one is questioning the veracity of these numbers?  From the same government that has just been exposed as cooking the books on AGW?

And we also learn that one of the BIG reasons for this AMAZING result is an increase in GREEN JOBS?  Lol, convenient much as we just had our "Jobs Summit" and Copenhagen is going on right now and the Dems are about to ram through Obamacare?

And NO ONE in the media is saying, "now wait a minute, this doesn't add up?"  How the hell did economists miss by 95%?  have the ever missed by that much before?

This number reeks of manipulation.

36

>Sorry about you folks out west dealing with snow

Snow in CO = $$$

37

1994 was a baaad and icy winter in Philly, topped off by that snow storm that shut down the East Coast. Ever airport from Atlanta north was shut down, so I was effectively snowed in...in Hawaii. Had to stay 2 days longer. Tough, man.

Wow, you get some beautiful pictures if you search images for frozen fog...

38

"Snow in CO = $$$"

Of course.  How could I forget?  I used to live in Stowe, VT.  Just in time for Christmas ski vacations.

 

39 I remember ice fog when I lived in Fairbanks.  Unfortunately, I seem to recall that it was made up of car exhaust that had somehow frozen and settled.

40 This number reeks of manipulation.

I agree. They've invented numbers of people who got jobs via the stimulus. This is just more of the same. I surprized that they haven't credited Barry's job's summit with the unemployment number going down.

41 It actually is snowing here in Houston.  The city shuts down whenever we get any freezing precipitation.  Gonna be a long day.

43 Wow. Deja-vu, man...

Who the hell is ADP?

45 From Urban Dictionary: liquid fog droplets that freeze to surfaces on contact forming white rime ice. Common on mountaintops which are exposed to low clouds. It is essentially the same as the ice frost that forms inside a freezer.

 Well, when you live on a mountain for the cool summer temps...

46

ADP?

Anthropogenic data projection? That would explain a lot.

47 Hey Tiger!
Follow the advice.

Well, being in Kansas with luck I won't have to deal with Ice Fog. But of course the real pain is knowing you have to get in your car, drive somewheres, and there has been either sleet or freezing rain. Then when you get to your car, you can't get in because the damn car is frozen solid! Key won't fit in the lock, and even if you unlock the door it's still frozen shut.

Damn I hate that! Not to mention the driving on the roads if you managet to get in the car and sort of thaw it out.

And what's with this crap I always hear that people don't know how to drive in the snow? I hear that all the time. Me, I drop the car a couple of gears and take it slow and easy (I have a 4 speed automatic). When stopped at a red light I drop into 1st, then pull out slowly, and increase speed as needed. Works well for me when driving conditions are crap, and haven't had any kind of accident in inclement weather.

49 Who the hell is ADP?

They process payrolls.

50 I just saw Groundhog Day for the first time on Tuesday.

51 12° here in Albuquerque (snowed yesterday). Brrrrr!

52 Me, I drop the car a couple of gears and take it slow and easy Actually, it is better to run in the highest gear possible with slow engine speed. That sends less torque to the drive wheels.

53 And what's with this crap I always hear that people don't know how to drive in the snow? I hear that all the time.

I love the ones who go whizzing past me in SUVs or 4WD trucks when driving on packed snow or ice. "I have four-wheel drive! I'm immune to inertia!"

And then the truth hits them (or another car when they can't stop at a red light or stop sign).

54

Fluffy, from a dead stop on an icy road I would disagree.

I've tried both. 1st gear works, Drive just spins the wheels.

55 And then the truth hits them (or another car when they can't stop at a red light or stop sign).

Illegally studded tires solve that problem.

56

And hell, as bad as it is here, I'd hate to think of what the people living in the Dakota's have to put up with.

Never ever want to think of lving there. At least not in the winter.

57 when they can't stop at a red light

Hell, no one around here does that in dry sunny weather.

58

Or "living" there.

Damn keyboard...

59 Exactly.  Where's that global warming when you need it?  Monday evening, walking the dog with a railroad lantern and enjoying the balmy night.  Thursday, letting him out to his run and watching to ensure he doesn't freeze in place.  Dogs are like kids aren't they?  Absolutely no nerve endings.

60 Employment drops to 10%!

Hide the decline...

61 Employment's back to the level of the middle of Sept. 

Yea!  Go Team!

62 I'll wait for the adjustment on the unemployment numbers, thanks, Barry.

63 WOW, employment went up by 250K during the Christmas rush. Some great economic rebound there folks.

Its a comfy 93 degrees here at club GTMO.

66 ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Even as he trumpeted a slowdown in the nation's job losses Friday, President Barack Obama put finishing touches on a proposal he'll unveil next week to "jump-start" business hiring across America.

"We need to grow jobs and get America back to work as quickly as we can," Obama said Friday at an event at Lehigh Carbon Community College. "On Tuesday, I'm going to speak in greater detail about the ideas I'll be sending to Congress to help jump-start private sector hiring and get Americans back to work."

Full employment for all of us! Oh thank you lord Obama creator and saver of jobs!

67 " Not that cold yet. Wait a few days. Gonna get down to around 7 in these parts."

It's a "Groundhog Day" reference.

68 Let's see - I'm wearing shorts, a wife beater t-shirt and flip-flops.

Only because I not in the Land'O'Bama right now and won't be until the elections of 2010.

So to all those freexing their asses off today - BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA
