Unexpected Thursday
(Pleasant Valley Sunday - with apologies to Gerry Goffin, Carole King and the Monkees)

The White House Press Corps down the hall
Is trying hard to learn their song…
Serenade the weak kneed Gibbs, who just came out to make them yawn…

Another Unexpected Thursday!
Spilled Oil burning everywhere!
Rows of houses they’re all foreclosed
And no one seems to care…

See Mrs. O, she’s proud today because her roses are in bloom!
Mr. O he’s so serene, He’s on TV in every room!

Another Unexpected Thursday!
Here in Unemployment Land!
The Press complains about how high it is
And the people just don’t understand…

Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray, to places far away
I need a change of scenery

Ta Ta Ta...

Another Unexpected Thursday
Spilled Oil burning everywhere!
Another Unexpected Thursday
Here in Unemployment land

Another Unexpected Thursday...

....and miraculously, the unemployment rate is STILL only 9.4%. What a farce, I’m still looking for all those stories about how the President is unconcerned about rising homelessness that we saw during the Bush years, and as far back as Reagan.

Anyone else noticing the math game they are playing to hide the 4,000 increase?

"Initial unemployment claims rose by 2,000 to 439,000 in the week ended Nov. 13, the Labor Department said Thursday in its weekly report. The previous week's figures were revised slightly upward to 437,000 from 435,000.

This is not the first time they have done this.

This is why Harry wants to push through Gay’s in the Military legislation, instead of extending current tax rates, Employment and the Economy assistance.

Way to go Harry, your still leading your lemmings off the cliff.

PROPAGANDA: Jobless Claims Rise a Bit

REALITY: Initial unemployment claims rose by 2,000 to 439,000 in the week

The number of people SUBTRACTED from the total EMPLOYED == 439,000!!!! ... the "2,000" is meaningless.

We were at 15,000 feet and falling at 630 MPH last month.

We're now at 10,000 feet and falling at 632 MPH!!

So the Propaganda from the pilot and stewardesses is that we've only accelerated 2 MPH toward the ground???

Local news reported the new jobless report was "good news" and now I see the reality broken out here.

Propagandized much?

439,000 is real close to half a million, but that’s good news according to the leftist elitist Obamatrons. Maybe that half a million unemployed Americans can get jobs in Red China?
