1 leaving work, going to make some calls for Scott Brown

2 10% unemployment!  The LightWorker Bangeth the Chicken!!

3 Glad to hear that Obey (D-WI) and currently running the House Appropriations Committee, has a serious R challenger whose campaign is gaining traction.

4 Colder than a well digger's ass in the Klondike here in the heartland.

5 "President Obama is leading an extreme left-wing crusade to bankrupt America,'' McCain says in a radio campaign ad currently airing. "But perhaps no battle in our lifetime is more vital than the one John McCain fights now..."

WHAT ABOUT THAT BATTLE TO WIN THE WHITE HOUSE 2008 when McCain called Obama a wonderful, reliable, reasonable man.

Election campaign promises.

Go J.D. Hayworth!

6 Colder than a Hooker standing on a street corner in Anchorage on New Year's here today.

9 degrees, blowing snow, drivers with their thumbs up their asses.  Working from home.

8 Funny, it's snowing and freezing outside, but we still got squirrels running around the backyard hoarding nuts. I thought vermin would be hibernating by now? Do they know something about the economy we need to know?

9 Working from home. Posted by: Herr Morgenholz at January 08, 2010 09:10 AM (CZI81) So I see. Keep up the good work! *wink*

If the Repubs are smart, they'll start pounding on today's jobs data like a drum.  This could really help Brown.  The jobs report today was a major let down for the talking heads who had been touting this recovery as the fastest to actually start creating jobs. 

This was a kick right in their crotch. 

Pre-market: futures tanking, gold up, oil up, dollar down.

11 WHAT ABOUT THAT BATTLE TO WIN THE WHITE HOUSE 2008 when McCain called Obama a wonderful, reliable, reasonable man.

As I just posted in another thread:

Because his Senate seat was secure then.  Even if he lost to Obama, his base of power and prestige was safe.  Plus, he wouldn't want to say anything unpleasant that might disrupt the fabled fellowship of the Senate.

But now, his seat is on the line, so it's take-no-prisoners time.  And his fellow senators won't hold it against him, because they understand.

12 Funny, it seems like at least a week since some idiot "expert" announced that the recession is officially over.

13 Working from home.

I actually seem to get more done from home than at the office.  Who knew coworkers were more of a pain in the ass than these short people running around screaming?

More "unexpected" bad economic news.

Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. unexpectedly lost 85,000 jobs in December and revisions showed payrolls increased the prior month for the first time in almost two years.

Payrolls decreased last month after a November gain of 4,000, figures from the Labor Department showed today in Washington. The median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News projected no change in December employment. The jobless rate held at 10 percent.

When discouraged workers and part-time workers who would prefer full-time jobs are included, the so-called "underemployment" rate in December rose to 17.3 percent, from 17.2 percent in October. That's just below a revised figure of 17.4 percent in October, the highest on records dating from 1994.

Revisions to the previous two months' data showed the economy actually generated 4,000 jobs in November, the first gain in nearly two years. But the revisions showed it also lost 16,000 more jobs than previously estimated in October.

It's a one hell of a recovery that Barry's got going.

16 Can't stand outside for more than a few minutes at a time, can't turn the pool pumps off, every fireplace in the house already turned on at 8 a.m.  Where the f**k is my anthropogenic global warming, Al ?!  I'd beat that fraud with a hockey stick if I could find him.

Maybe I'll just go to work and lay myself off.

17 CoolCzech!

I noticed the squirrels running around a couple of days ago.  My theory is that they were looking for food while they still can, because I think we are going to have more snow and cold for a while.

18

All the news is the same old stuff this morning:

1. Bambi continues to do his best to destroy the country.

2. It is cold as hell everywhere

3. The press is still nothing more than a PR organization for Dems

 

19 President Barack Obama has lost over 4 million jobs since he became President. So how's that hope and change working out for you??

20 Driving in Atlanta when there is snow and ice on the ground might be the most painful experience ever.  The drivers here are bad on normal roads....

21

Golf is a funny game. It's done much for health, and at the same time has ruined people by robbing them of their peace of mind. Look at Barry Obama, he's the healthiest idiot in the world.

Recently, a photographer kept shooting Barry every time he swung. He was very flattered until he found out the photographer was from Yard and Garden Magazine.

I advised Barry Obama on how he could cut eight strokes off his score - skip one of the par 3s.

Barry Obama once showed Tiger Woods his swing and said, 'What do I do next?' Tiger replied, 'Wait till the pain dies down.'

I enjoy playing with President Obama. The element of risk gets my adrenaline flowing and adds twenty yards to my tee shots.

You donÂ’t know what fear is until you hear Barry Obama behind you shouting 'Fore!' - and you're still in the locker room.

Shortly after I played golf with Barry Obama I thought it was time to take some lessons. Not golf lessons. First aid.

When Barry Obama yells “Fore!” you never know whether he's telling someone to get out of the way or if he's predicting how many spectators he'll hit with the shot.

President Obama should give up golf for painting. It takes fewer strokes.

If President Obama slices the budget like he slices a golf ball, the nation has nothing to worry about.

22 ATaLien--do y'all put down salt or sand down there?

23 17 CoolCzech! I noticed the squirrels running around a couple of days ago. My theory is that they were looking for food while they still can, because I think we are going to have more snow and cold for a while. Posted by: Miss Marple at January 08, 2010 09:18 AM (4DwVn) Well, either that, or they sense an Obama reelection in 2012...

24

I believe putting down salt and or sand would involve city employees doing their job.  So, no, I guess not.

No big deal for me, I grew up in CO and went to school in upstate NY.  I can go without the salt.  But there were people on the 85 today going 20 in the left lane.  My steering wheel is going to press assault charges against me.

25 Just a nice sparkling 1 degree here! Oh, I haven't been outside yet, but apparently the wind chill is around -20 or so.

26 Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. unexpectedly lost 85,000 jobs in December ....

Consider me shocked.

27

At least my ass is warm now. So I guess there's that.

28 Mid-teens and snow for the Bengals/Jets tomorrow.  Similar to last week.  Hooray!!

29 POLITICO: "It's just a typo, and in fact, the DNI fixed it on its webpage shortly after sending reporters the statement. But it's an awkward slip-up on the same day the White House admitted that a typo prevented the State Department from realizing it had granted a visa to Umar AbdulMutallab. (Someone spelled his name wrong during a search.)"

STOP! Foreign names have multiple spellings. Hell, English words are not uniformly spelled. The Americans and Brits differ between using "s" or "z" all the time ending words, doubling or keeping a single consonant before adding a suffix, not to mention pronunciation contrasts ("schedule"). So foreign names originated from a different alphabet, phonics, or system of pronunciation, OF COURSE THERE ARE MULTIPLE SPELLINGS.

Point being, ANY resemblance a person has with a banned name REQUIRES personal scrutiny by the "security" official. That the US Security lacks conversational skills to interview people with questionable names and to uniformly conduct body searches because the names are similar is a huge PC problem proving that Obama's administration enforces clusterf*ck systemic failure. Inconvenient truth.

Impeach Fraud and Corruption--the unemployed have something to do.

James Galloway, MP Shithead-on-Thames, tossed by the Egyptians. It looks like Canada was right to deny him entry.

31 It's so cold here, that the local weather station just used a photo of a bare-breasted witch for the forecanst.

32 Or the forecast.

33 Michael Steele will be on Laura Ingraham's show today so I can find out about this conservative giant that David Frum posing as a troll was yammering about last night.  Frankly I'll be shocked if he can string two sentences together without sounding like a complete idiot.

Mmmmmmm.... bare-breasted witch.

29 Its so cold I actually saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets.

WINNER!

 

37 Thanks guys, for the post on ammonia treated burgers. Disgusting. I'm not sure I'll ever eat another burger again, at least not for a while, and not unless I know the meat source.

38

Good morning! Drinks on me this morning because we finally got our old house rented out!!!1!

Now we're only going to be losing a little money every month instead of a lot! That's what counts as good news these days...

39 Yeah, I wondered if cities in the South even bother to buy road salt.  I'm getting a kick out of one of my friends in ATL bitching about *giggle* a half-inch of snow. 

40 Ras daily tracking poll for Obama index at -14, a 2 pt drop from yesterday. Not at the -50 that he deserves after that wonderful rhetoric yesterday.

I'm glad they don't buy road salt or snow plows or any of that crap. It would be a waste of money.

Also, keep in mind that MOST of the people currently living in Atlanta are transplanted yankees.

Me too, and it's true about the productivity. And I don't necessarily need to wear pants, and nobody'll know if I have a beer or five during the day.

43 I have found a picture of a typical Ace of Spades reader: http://tinyurl.com/yd3ekor

44 As gifted as he is, UT's McCoy is not yet an angel. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. McCoy pushed his envelope charging into a dogpile forming, taking an injurious blow unnecessarily that lost the team's game. I dreaded his post game interview. A great passer, he gave God the glory. Somehow that didn't make me feel better. It was just a game. Get well, Colt.

UT Live and Learn
Rescind Mack's extra million salary awarded pre-game. Provide more play experience rotating 2nd string team players in competitive format. You're only as strong as your weakest link, which was NOT the back-up quarterback, but the butterfinger jinxed team itself that did not connect with a non-Colt delivery.

45 I was wondering when someone was going to bring up the game.

46 I couldn't tell exactly what happened to McCoy.  It looked like he leaned into the pile, sat down on a defender, and then cam up with his arm hanging like a thread.  I saw the hit from the Bama lineman, but it sure didn't look like a game ender either live or on replay.  They were smart to keep him out though if he was really hurt that bad ... he's got a $50M future in the NFL you wouldn't want to ruin, but a little toughness during a national title game wouldn't have sucked.

47 I'm glad they don't buy road salt or snow plows or any of that crap. It would be a waste of money.

Sounds like they could use it today, but removing the 27-car pileups is probably cheaper than spreading salt.

48

Sorry, everyone, but I'm starting to think that flying over to play at your Aceapalooza thing is probably not such a good idea.

Regrets.

49

@48 Even if they did have snow plows and shit, this retarded city government would probably give snow-days to the people responsible for spreading it.  " I can't get to my snow plow today, have you seen the roads outside?!?"

 

50

Bust, you probably didn't see the post-game interview with him. He said is arm was just dead. Like he had slept on it. He said he had no pain, just a useless arm. And if you noticed  whenever he was on camera it just hanged down.

He did have class though, and gave kudos to Alabama.

I'm of a mind though, that had he been in the game, and with that defense they had, that Texas could have won.

But we will never know.

51

It looks like the What Wars hippies got all JFK and managed to get run over by a japanese ship. The "bat boat" was sunk.

If you want to go to Antarctica and play pirate, you should expect to get treated like a pirate.... And the first rule of pirates: NO WHINING.

The good news for them is that they managed to get their stash off the boat before she sunk.

52 video at fox news 3963199 obama's new intel steps

Fred Thompson nails Obama's Predictable Response (systemic failure):
1. Hunker Down Mute
2. Say Wrong Thing Infuriating the Public
3. Revised Statement to Please Public Opinion with a Lie

Thompson tags "I am responsible" the most overused words in Washington--what does it mean? Punish CIA Officers who interrogate terrorists AND give a pass to his top appointees who can't connect dots.

On his own radio show over a month ago, Thompson stated that Obama's only transparency in government has been to enable terrorism.

Pin the tail on Obama.

53 First rule of pirates: no whining!

A monsignor's favorite homily included the punchline that the only Inuit rule was NO COMPLAINING.

54

On his own radio show over a month ago, Thompson stated that Obama's only transparency in government has been to enable terrorism.

The latest buzz on the underwear bomber being reported on Fox is that they are planning on giving him a plea bargain to get him to talk.  That is the Obama way.

If Vic was in charge he would be at GITMO being waterboarded and then executed afterwards.

55 56!

56 I don't know if anyone's following the Gilbert Arenas gun issue or not, but he had a pretty awesome reply to Al Sharpton's criticism:

"For a kid who does a lot of work for the black community, I didn't get the memo you were still one of our black leaders," Arenas tweeted Thursday. "Because if you was, you wouldn't have made a comment like that before getting all the facts straight."
 

57 As a follow-up, the chicken stayed unfucked as Michael Steele actually made sense today on the Laura Ingraham show.  While I'd prefer that he acknowledge some of his fuckups in the past, that wouldn't be a deal-killer going forward if he continues this type of performance and gets good results.  Still the LIS is an easy forum for Repubs; I'll be more impressed if he faces down some of those MSLSD idiots.  But for now, probably a little better than a solid B+.

58 ATaLien, I feel your pain.  The numbnuts running Seattle last winter didn't put salt on the roads despite the foot+ of snow because it harms the environment. Totally forgetting the city sits on Puget Sound, you know, salt water.

It was fresh water before man came along and started putting salt on the roads. Stop Anthropogenic Sea Salting now!

It's really more of a guideline.

61 James Carville:

"Let me buy a [security] pass ... so that they can scan me and and search me and measure my penis, then let me get on the plane," he said.


Wow! Those scanners must be really powerful. Unless he just meant that because he's one big dick but then we can see that just with a tv.

Don't laugh. Toronto's municipal government has trying to limit road salt use for a few years now (like using salt water instead of rock salt) to save the environment.
