We have too much not-enough-unemployment

Posted by on

The Associated Press is reporting that Friday’s unemployment report will be … bad (tip: Don Surber). But the administration says it’s the weather’s fault. (At least it’s not the climate‘s fault.) The AP calls shenanigans.

The report can’t just be dismissed. Once the snow effect is filtered out, they say the data will still signal weak hiring: Little if any job growth, and an unemployment rate predicted to rise to 9.8 percent or more from 9.7 percent.

While everyone’s getting their panties in a wad over the number of unemployed, they don’t realize that there is an easy way to solve the unemployment problem.

Make more people lose their jobs.

Now, sure, this sounds like a Barack Obama solution. He’s one to address a problem of too much government by having more government.

But, this isn’t the same thing. You see, I’m thinking that we could get more people back to work if a few certain select people joined the ranks of the unemployed. I can think of 257 people that need to lose their jobs, and things will get better.

Wait! I just thought of 59 more!

This will work.

You’re welcome.

Job Opportunity

MSNBC is looking for an editor who “knows America.” This is good that MSNBC is now interested in America, but I’d be worried that anyone who actually knows America wouldn’t know to be wary of a job with MSNBC. If they’re hiring someone to work with Olbermann, I’d just make the sole job requirement that the person is able to keep a straight face.

Top Ten Signs Obama Doesn’t Command Respect

Posted by on

I don’t think Obama has been a very good leader. To be a good leader, you have to command respect, and Obama has failed at that. Let me count the ways.

TOP TEN SIGNS OBAMA DOESN’T COMMAND RESPECT

10. Anytime Obama calls on Congress, they see it’s him through caller ID and let it go to voice mail.

9. There’s been a pirate ship menacing tourists in the reflecting pool in D.C. for a week, and so far nothing has been done.

8. In his last meeting with Iran, no one heard Obama, as they were all too busy refining uranium.

7. The Secret Service has Obama open their mail for them to make sure it’s safe.

6. Every time Obama orders his dog Bo to do something, Bo later craps in one of Obama’s shoes. Similar situation with Joe Biden.

5. Obama asked to be on FOX News, but only Red Eye would take him.

4. The White House tour guides are always ordering him to clean stuff.

3. “The Red Button” placed in the Oval Office only activates the kitchen garbage disposal.

2. When Obama visited a classroom, the kids mistook his purpose there and kept asking him to make balloon animals.

And the number one sign that Obama doesn’t command respect…

How to Handle a Culture of Corruption

Posted by on

So the Democrats in Congress are just full of corrupt individuals like Charles Rangel, and the Democrats can hardly be forced to do anything about it. So my question is: When is there enough corruption in the Democrat Party that that we can arrest the whole lot of them on RICO charges? I know some will frown on arresting all of the opposition party, but how are they going to learn to not allow crime and corruption unless we arrest them all, beat them, and send them to prison? I think in eight to ten years, the Democrat Party would end up being stronger than ever, dazzling voters with all their cool prison tats. And then they could be right back to work in D.C., as long as their parole officers say it’s okay.

Random Thoughts

When I started blogging, I was 23 and thought it was a bit pretentious for me to talk too seriously about politics. I’m 30 now and feel I’ve at least paid enough in taxes over the years to get to lecture seriously every so often.

Didn’t get the Oscar buzz, but then realized I saw “Precious Based on the Novel Push by Topaz”. Completely different movie.

Chicagoans fear me and my mighty thunderstick.

If libs were in charge in ancient times, ppl would be able to run into a room and shout, “Everyone on the ground! I have a sword!”

You can’t both be civilized and have an irrational fear of modern weaponry.

It was the perfect murder; every detail made it look like he killed himself. But I forgot one thing: Bears can’t write suicide notes.

I think it’s way too early in the evolution of frisbee games to declare something “ultimate.”

I really hate the idea that our rights are some little game that we can be outsmarted out of by smug, useless people.
