The press' attempt to paint terrible job loss news into good news continues. This line from the Wall Street Journal captures it perfectly:
"Though still a terrible loss by historical standards, the data suggest a turning point is at hand after monthly job cuts earlier in the year totaled as much as 700,000."Amazing.
Congress spending $550 million of our money on eight new private jets to ferry aristocrats to vacation hot spots all around the world. They're livin' la vida loca on our dime. They also use our money to buy hookers, liquor and light joints with at their bipartisan "we love the ignorant taxpayer" parties.
AmmoLand.com (why have I never heard of that) call Sotomayor a radical anti-gunner. That's a synonym for liberal Supreme Court Justice.
Scientists desire to turn on an inactive human gene to fight HIV.
Democrats clear themselves in ethics probes. What a shocker.
CIA missile strike kills Pakistani Taliban leader. I wonder what the Pakistani government thinks of those missile strikes now.
On a very weak copyright claim, YouTube censors popular video clips from C-SPAN of Ron Paul and other government officials. God forbid citizens actually see what goes on in Congress. It's unclear whether C-SPAN requested this or not. If C-SPAN was smart, they'd put every thing they every filmed on the web for everybody to access.
Who can be against a new rule prohibiting fraud and deception in the petroleum markets? But wait a minute... since when was fraud and deception legal in the first place? This is another power grab, and it will be used to harm US energy companies and us.
This is misleading paragraph from the New York Times:
"For the first time since the Depression, the American economy has added virtually no jobs in the private sector over a 10-year period. The total number of jobs has grown a bit, but that is only because of government hiring."That's because so many private sector jobs have been wiped out since 2007. There was private sector job growth before then. But what this does show is that all that growth was illusionary. It was funded by an inflationary bubble, and therefore not real. All that illusionary wealth was no more tangible than smoke. That's why those jobs disappeared when the bubble burst.
Amount paid by top 1 percent of tax filers exceeds the amount paid by the bottom 95 percent. 2006 numbers for how few people pay income tax (41 percent).
Neither the majority of Americans nor the majority of Hispanics support Sotomayor for Supreme Court Justice, so her confirmation will likely hurt Obama and Democrats and help Republicans.
