Ha. ..easier to teach goats to surf than for Obama to understand how a lemonade stand works.
Goats surfing:
Seeing old WTIC brought back memories! Seventy years ago we’d listen to the G.Fox Morning Watch while getting ready for school. When the Connecticut March was played at 8 it was the signal to walk down to the bottom of the hill for the school bus! Back then I was the only child whose parents voted for FDR—they were all Wilkie supporters. He was a very scary man to me.
A friend just told me last Sunday—with great disdain in her voice—that the Hartford Courant is now owned by Fox News! I made no comment (with great restraint)! The Oldest Newspaper in the United States was left-wing as long as I can remember. Must say it warmed my heart!
Just did the poll and it is still a friggin wipeout!
When I first looked it said 14 votes then it changed to 14 comments. Someone screw up and then fixed it.
99.25
LOL
FEeeEEeePED:
HA!! Numbers are still holding strong!!
What happened to all that ‘hope’ and ‘change’ that was promised?
Yes. There’s A Recovery Underway 0.73%
No. Someone’s “Cooking The Books” 99.27%
Still here, so ...
The big question is: why does the huge spike occur in the 20-24 age group? This is weird because the 0bama administration has already been getting an enormous fig-leaf from Baby Boomers who're leaving the workforce a few months or years early, but an increase in the 20-24 age group has a VERY HIGH stank-factor.
My suspicion is that they've changed the way they asked the question so that students looking for part-time work for the summer who have reported back to school are being dropped from the rolls -- and since temporary workers wouldn't have been ON the rolls in the first place ... Viola! 900,000 people who previously weren't really looking for work (and weren't counted) are now magically counted as not looking for work anymore.
All anybody needs to know about this is that we've had net jobs numbers in the mid to low 100,000's for several months, and there has been no real change to unemployment during those months. Suddenly, 114,000 new jobs takes the rate down by 0.3-0.4%! AND ... even more suspiciously, the UNDEREMPLOYMENT number has not moved -- it's still 14.7%. How is it even possible that we found almost 900,000 new jobs, but NONE of the people who want more work than they currently have were able to get more hours or more permanent positions?
It's a story that only someone credulous (read: gullible) enough to believe the original excuse for the Benghazi murders could possibly believe.
Chris Christie, and the people who elected him, would disagree; when things get this bad, libs elect grown-ups to fix them.
