News I Came Home To Today

We are already at 9.9% unemployment, and unemployment claims rose to 471,000, up by 25,000 since last week. Of course, "experts" say this was "unexpected". I want to be an expert too. I can be wrong about everything all the time, say "unexpected" and given a pass. Ten percent unemployment, the Dems say that's acceptable, and we'll have to learn to live with it. Really, that's their talking points. When a Republican occupies the White House they scream bloody murder when it approaches 5%. Old people are starving and eating dog food! Homelessness is skyrocketing! (Have you seen any homeless reports this last year?) Babies are dying of malnutrition! Dem in White House? Hey, 10% ain't so bad, learn to live with it.

The stock market plummeted "unexpectedly" by about 250 points. Bad economic news for socialist Europe, jobless rate increase here, and the Dems monkeying around with "comprehensive financial reform" of Wall Street. Boy, Dems monkeying around with anyone's money will make financial markets jittery.

Consumer confidence indicators are down. "Unexpectedly." Company wholesale orders are down, requests for new homes down. Foreclosures are up not just for people given homes by the sub-prime debacle, but with middle class regular folks. Then again, those people are probably sympathetic to the Tea Party Movement, so really, not a big deal.

Meanwhile, last night the Obama's had a big soirée with movie stars and Hollywood celebrities, spending $millions of tax payers money. The justification was to entertain the America insulting Mexican President Calderone. Beyonce performed! O boy! Of course the Jurassic Press was all a'twitter about Michelle's 'new' hairstyle and most amazing blue gown. (How many hair styles can she have?) Then again I remember all the Statists were excited every time Hillary adjusted her golden locks. Remember when Nancy Reagan dressed nicely, how she was excoriated by the Jurassic Press? Her stuff didn't cost near as much as Michelle's.

I'm looking at all these disasters, the American people are facing a really bad situation, and the Obama's have a big ol' bash. Party on dudes!
