Sure. And razor blade production is up. Also, the chocolate ration has been increased from 30 grams to 20 grams.

We're on a roll now, alright. Yeah. Sure we are. You betcha.

It is a good thing that Kerry is a non starter, you can put a pig in a dress take it to the prom and call it Mary, but in the end it is still a stinking pig... poor Kerry, like a spoiled little 10 year old fat kid screaming to be heard but nobody cares (except the media)

Well, it looks like there is at least one job still out there.

Chiropractor for the President.

Magabump! Now, can we get Bush and the Congress to listen.

yyyyYYYYYAAAAYYYYY OFFSHORING!

Absolutely! At this rate, we're all going to be rich by tomorrow afternoon at the very latest!

Thanks for posting this, Lazamataz. I always value your insights.

Oil futures just hit a 1 year high today too. Up to $37.02 a barrel. I am sure that employers are going to be dying to hire now that they have added energy costs to factor into their balance sheets.

Thanks pal.

I do want to add this: I think the numbers are missing MOST of the new job production. The small and mid-sized low-capitalization firms are where the action is.

hundreds of thousands of telemarketing jobs lost when the "do not call" list was made law.

Good point. There is a small local call center near me that looks to still be open, but I haven't seen their 'want ad' in the paper since then.

I saw that. That's due to Venesualan unrest. Venesuala consists of a huge poor underclass and a tiny rich minority.

Offshoring companies please take note. Eventually there are uprisings.

So you don't like the president... I'll take note.

Define 'like'. Do I need to write worshipful soliloquies to Bush on his "A Day In The Life" threads? Or can I simply think he's a decent guy privately. Am I disallowed from thinking or posting anything even remotely critical of his policies?

And as far as you taking note ... does that mean I'm going on a list somewhere? I do so dislike being the recipient of the Five Minute Hates.

You don't seem to dislike giving them out though.

[Porterville]

Seeing how you handle yourself with Dane, how you dislike Bush, how you refuse to blame the politicians that are causing off shoring, and your refusal to recognize that 5.6% unemployment is good.... well there is only hope for you in the Democrat or Green party....

What did you post about his policies? You blame everything on Bush without any detailed reason not much of a criticism as much as a knee jerk reaction. I have to question your motives.

Actually Chavez is in the Castro mold. He dictates to businessses how to run their business. With your penchant for telling companies how to run their businesses, IMO, you are closer to the Chavez mold.

And nary a peep from you about the demos in the Senate blocking the energy bill for three years.

BTW, could you expound on how kerry and his enviro friends would make the situation any better.

[Lazamataz]

STOP STALKING ME!!!!

[dogbyte12]

Firstly, you are a registered Democrat Dane. Kerry is your party leader now. Why don't you ask him?

Secondly, the GOP seemed to have more spine when Clinton was in office. Now they roll over on guns, spending, you name it.

It is my fault though. I made the President propose amnesty. I made him propose the medicare proposal. I made him put away his veto pen never to be used. It truly is all my fault. For that, I apologize.

[Dane]

STOP STALKING ME!!!!

Whew, giving my reply about how Chavez in Venuzeula is a Castro clone is now "stalking".

Laz get some help, seriously.

Could you please cite where I blame offshoring and outsourcing on President Bush? In point of fact, the only mention of Bush I made on the thread is an acknowledgement that I do know that he is not purposefully depressing the labor market.

So, ff you cannot produce a citation, a retraction would be in order.
