— Ace That's right; your eyes do not deceive you.
You just saw them put on a positive spin on a persistent, soulcrushing, lifestealing 9.7% unemployment rate. (16.8% real unemployment rate, and climbing.)
Oh, and AP's now tracing the Pentagon shootings right back to the office of Senator Jim DeMint.
Thanks to Slu and Gabe.

Obama Encouraged by Steady Unemployment Rate
Of course Barry Ogabe is encouraged by it, because he can just proclaim capitalism a great big failure and institute a socialist takeover upon any sector he wishes and make big government look like a saviour. He's taking notes from Chavez here.
This ain't a bug, its a feature.

I am also encouraged that my wife's anchor-like ass makes it more difficult for her to follow me around and badger me about the fried food and the boozing and such.

OT: another Friday news dump from the Obama Administration.
U.S. to cut nukes, reduce their role in national security
In the statement, Obama pointed to the persistent threat of nuclear proliferation and the importance of the NPT. "Today, the threat of global nuclear war has passed, but the danger of nuclear proliferation endures, making the basic bargain of the NPT more important than ever."
Question: If nuclear proliferation endures, how can the threat of global nuclear war have passe?

Yeah.
I've heard that libtard argument like a gagillion times here in Michigan, where our real unemployment number is pretty close to 30%
Bush is stupid and a genius all at once.
I expect the Democrats to keep whining about Bush until... well, when are we all dying? Dec. 2012? At least until then. If there is no die off, well, until Bush is no longer a memory, I'm thinkin' 2090.

“I’ve talked about the continuing threat of fascism in the postwar world, but there’s another ‘ism,’ Communism, and if I ever find evidence that Communism represents a threat to all that we believe in and stand for, I’ll speak out just as strongly against Communism as I have fascism.”

This shit is almost enough to make one want to secede from the Union before their state gives permission.
Almost.
This clown we call our president but considers himself the the Lord General King of America is drunk with power, ignorant to boot and ruling by decree.
Amnesty very well may be the breaking point though.

Onnie Copeland: "We need money. We don't have no money. We don't have no way to get it. Please help us get some for groceries and housing."
John Green: (Wants to see the president fund more job training for convicted felons like Green himself.) "We need something to keep you from being back on the streets. When you ain't making no money, you go back to your old you."
Dana Fehsenfeld, a young mother hanging out in Forsyth Park with her baby daughter Burdie Lopez-Ibanez, wishes the president would kiss her daughter: "It would be like royalty."
And there are more. Damn it. Sigh.

But the only way to explain the L.A. Times headline is that the headline writer is fed up with Obama. I mean, there are so many other ways to spin that news with a different headline that it must have been a deliberate choice to word it so as to make Obama sound like a callous bastard.

"It is obvious you are trying to help the American people, but they do not want your help."
"How much did it cost the taxpayers for you and your entourage to travel to Savannah?"
"Thank you, President Obama, for all that you've accomplished so far. Keep it up, get health care reform done and create more jobs for workers who want them."
"Please resign and take your socialist ideas with you. You are going to make Jimmy Carter look like a successful president."

In fact, Larry Kudlow, that great conservative economist (at least National Review publishes his stuff), thinks we're in a "recovery."

Excellent catch, FUBAR. Reading those comments, you'd think the scales were falling off the eyes of San Franfreakians and they'd even consider electing a Republican next time. Sigh.
Did you see anything about the three muzzies who shot a guy in the face pointblank with a on a SF street corner because they thought he was gay? The three were arrested and charged with hate crimes but there was no mention of their names (all Middle Eastern) and the fact that they subscribed to the religion of pieces.

If I were a betting wimmin, I'd say DeMint is going to run for prez. He hired Amanda Carpenter as his communications director a few weeks ago. He won't get any party support, though. He's too conservative. He has said before that the GOP would like nothing better than for him to go away.
Posted by: RushBabe at March 05, 2010 09:11 PM (LKkE
Which is the exact reason the Vichy GOP doesnt want him to run.
I love DeMint. I wish he would run, the guy speaks to my heart. The GOP wanting him to go away means he's a true conservative and that he'll run them back under the counters when the lights come on like the cockroaches they are.

"It was California Democratic Rep. Pete Stark who said, late in the Bush administration, that Republicans want to spend money "to blow up innocent people—if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement."
Multiply rhetoric like that and you have the new public square, swarming with bloggers and broadcasters reaching for the provocative and feeding the grievances of the like-minded."

Kudlow is so permabull that he was probably calling the Lehman collapse "a minor blip that the markets will shrug off"
Pump billions into a stock market index to create an illusion of recovery while millions of businesses watch for the Grim Reaper. Kudlow needs to leave Manhattan now and then.
Kudlow is more dangerous because he's still taken seriously. Cramer is just kept around for laughs.

It's called abandon city. Better get out before it caves in.
Oh, the city of Detroit was abandoned like 40 years ago, and is already caved in.
The rest of the area is somewhat civilized.
Except for the libtards. However, once they lose their cushy union gigs, they'll leave, thus changing the balance from libtard to normals.

The warming weather has sparked a warning from the OPP for drivers to avoid distractions on area highways this weekend.
And police are also urging people to stay off ice-covered waterways as the ice is weakened by the balmy, spring-like temperatures of 6 Celsius and sunshine.
“Motorists, statistically, tend pay less attention to their driving when the weather is bright, sunny and warm,” said Sgt. Dave Rektor, of the OPP’s Western region headquarters.
“We encourage all drivers to obey all the rules of the roads, and don’t get distracted during this nice stretch of weather headed our way.”
Regarding the waterways, Rektor said the water beneath the ice is still frigid.
“This time of year, the warmth from the sun begins to make ice surfaces very unstable and unpredictable and venturing out onto the ice this time of year poses a significant and imminent danger,” he said.
“Parents and caregivers of young children are encouraged to keep them well
back from all waterways and donÂ’t allow them to play around the banks of
creeks, rivers or streams which are very slippery.“
