Bad news for the troll, part 2

I’ve been informed that 126,000 jobs isn’t enough to count when it comes to job recovery.

How about 300,000?

I’m gonna bet that it’s still not going to be enough. Any takers?

Union Thug Tactics

Is there a reason why unions seem to have a bad reputation? Cripes, they still sound like stereotypes.

Brenkus(business manager of Chicago-based Local 110 movie projectionists union) was also charged with obstruction of justice. He allegedly told another suspect that if subpoenaed by a grand jury, he should say “he don’t know nobody” and “don’t know nothing.” I heard that line in a movie once…

The union has an image, acquired decades ago, of corruption and alleged mob links.

Alleged? Whaaa? Don’t tell me Hollywood has been lying to me...AGAIN!

Bad news for our resident troll

What with the increase in last quarter’s GDP (to the tune of 7.2% - an increase not matched since Reagan’s Administration), Jadegold’s claim that things still suck because of all of the job losses going on is the only thing keeping him from that very high ledge.

He has been repeating the DNC line that Bush has presided over more job losses since Herbert Hoover, and unemployment has never been higher, yadda yadda yadda. Despite the figures from the Department of Labor that showed that there are almost three million more people employed than when Clinton sold those pardons during his last weeks in office, he calls them “raw data”. (Three year-old data is still “raw”? Riiiight.)

Well, this story ought to be giving both Jadegold and the DNC ulcers.

The money quote: “We can finally put the nail in the coffin of the jobless recovery,” said Ken Mayland, president of ClearView Economics. “We are back on a rising job track.”

Hey, Jade! How does that crow taste?

No Plan?

Lately, I’ve been hearing yakking from the left that Donald Rumsfeld had no plan for Iraq. That we were screwing ourselves with the troops, and that we ignored the Iraqi army as replacements for the future.

Well, here’s a start.

Go out to San Jose to read about my homestate’s involvement.

Not enough Iraqis? Go here, there should over 200,000 in place by next spring, despite what John McPain thinks. Not to take anything away from what he went through, but he still seems to be stuck in Vietnam. Iraq is not Vietnam Senator and if the commanders in Iraq don’t believe we need more troops, why can’t he accept that? We run into more trouble when Washington(and its Senators) wants to run the war, rather than letting the commanders take charge.
