The overall unemployment rate currently stands at 7.2 percent, a 15-year high according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. Each day since the current recession began, in December 2007, the news has been full of reports of job layoffs.

Could the news get any worse? It’s all in how you calculate the numbers.Here is a visual guide to the truth behind the numbers

Tuske-gee, me, oh, my A truly embarrassing moment for House Minority Leader John Boehner at today's Congressional Medal of Honor ceremony honoring the Tuskegee airmen. During his short speech to those in attendance, Boehner six times mispronounced the group's name as the "Tusk-E-gee,'' eliciting audible groans from the front to the back of the Capitol Rotunda. One woman standing in front of me leaned to her companion and whispered, "This is so embarrassing, and he's from my state." Perhaps making matters worse, almost all of Boehner's speech focused on the general accomplishments of American forces in World War II, paying...

They may look like Thailand's answer to Girls Aloud - but this girl band is really a boy band. The five young Thai transsexuals - commonly referred to as ladyboys - have been brought together by record company Sony BMG. They are known as Hot, Cool, Posh, Naughty and Sweet and together they make up the band, Venus Flytrap. They are hoping their newly-released album, Visa for Love, and risqué video will propel them to stardom. Nok, 24, branded as Posh said: "The outstanding selling points of us are our special looks as special women or ladyboys." The band hope...

At Google nada about 9/11. At Dogpile, this. Dogpile V. Google Cont'd [Jonah Goldberg] Golly judging from a lot of email, I may have started something. For example: It took me two minutes to switch from Google toolbar to Dogpile toolbar. The best part was that the Google uninstall page had a comments box asking why I was getting rid of their service. I let them know. Believe me, I let them know.

Blame it on our vivid imaginations and mediocre surroundings, but every time we fly, we check out the stewardesses. Yes, we’re using that word; like eating a big slab of steak or smoking in public, casually using the word stewardess is frowned upon in some circles. I want to make it clear: I am approaching this topic from a glandular perspective -- a perspective that doesn’t play nice with political correctness. Each time we board, we hope to fly with stewardesses as hot as those in the movie Airplane! (1980), Pam Grier in Jackie Brown (1997) and Catherine Zeta-Jones in...

As we all know, spending time here on FR, we recognize that there are various opinions about what makes a great conservative or what it means to be a true conservative. But like in Baseball, one does not get to the hall of fame unless enough of the sportsfans and writers think that person deserving after performing great deeds in his career. So here is the place to decide who gets to be in the Conservative Icon Hall of Fame. I shall kick it off with my unimpeachable list (so don't try impeaching it...lol). Cheers and happy friday to all.

For whatever the reasons, some songs have an innate ability to alter ones mood from the moment the first chords are strummed (or blasted as the case may be). Likely, they are tied to distant memories or romances, but it is the song istelf that holds sway. No matter how many times I've heard and enjoyed the Beatles' I Wanna Hold your Hand or the Stones' Honky Tonk Women, they do not set off a chemical reaction in my head to alter the landscape in front of me. But other songs, especially if driving by yourself, with no distractions, can...

No we're not talking about more of the "harpies" stuff, or the plagiarism allegations; no we're talking about the claims that she's really a man, baby. Check out Coulter flashing an eyeful (ala Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct) to CNBC host Donny Deutsch, then check it again, and again, and again. I'm still not sure what I saw, but I do know that it nearly makes CNBC interesting enough to TiVo...

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: announcement of the winners in our White House Hotties contest. We asked for your nominations, selected some worthy contenders — both men and women — and threw open the polls. Thousands of votes later, you have crowned two worthy hotties. In the women’s race, in which almost 9,000 votes were tabulated, you picked Taylor Hughes as queen of the hotties. Taylor developed an early lead, which she never surrendered — despite aggressive campaigns by her two chief rivals, Mary Anne Calamas and Emily House. Hughes may have benefited from all the...

OK. Enough of the MSM nonsense for the day. We've had threads about the best sports mascots and threads about the best TV commercials, but never one honoring the icons of advertisements, the product spokesman. So here are the top 7 according to the leading experts (me). 7. The Big Fig Newton guy. ....Golden cakey tender flakey outside... 6. The Marlboro Man. No one has done more to get people hooked on fags than this guy. Don't know if he ever said much though 5. Lucky. Alway after me lucky charms. I think he's still in business today, and hasn't...

Teenage boys have always lusted after attractive teachers, but what happens when the teachers lust after the boys? The older woman. Knowledgeable, seasoned, experienced. Hot! The fantasy creature who embodies full-blown female sexuality in all its mysterious glory. Of course, she’s out of reach; it will never happen. She inhabits her own complicated realm of emotions and responsibilities and lingerie, and you are just . . . a kid. But imagine the initiation! The possibilities! (Sexually, sure, but also for bragging.) It would be awesome. Or would it? What if the impossible happened and she started paying unmistakably romantic attention...

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice took time out from matters of war and peace to catch this week's finale of American Idol. Unlike many adults who claim they watch the show only because their kids commandeer the TV, Condi is an unabashed fan. Rice was rooting for fellow Birmingham native Taylor Hicks and will soon send him a congratulatory letter, says a State Department official. The Alabama connection helps explain why she has long been glued to the show: last year's runner-up Bo Bice is also a 'Bama boy, as was the winner of the second Idol competition, Ruben Studdard....

Apparently, the reviews of Tom Hanks latest movie have been less than kind. Maybe his new look is behind it all...

Do "beer goggles" really exist? Tipsy Dear Tipsy: For those of you unfamiliar with the party scene, "beer goggles" refers to how people often appear more attractive to you after you've had a few drinks. For a long time, it was just a convenient excuse a person used to explain "regrettable amorous encounters." However, according to a study at the Universities of Glasgow and St. Andrews, beer goggles (or "brew gogs" as they're known in certain fraternal circles) are very real. It's no secret that excessive drinking leads to poor judgment behind the wheel. Well, it can also lead to...

Hollywood legend Audrey Hepburn has topped a list of the 100 most beautiful women of all time. The Breakfast at Tiffany's star was chosen just ahead of fellow screen icon Grace Kelly. The survey of 5,000 women was carried out by New Woman magazine. And it revealed that old-style glamour still has the edge over modern-day celebrities. Sixties sex bomb Sophia Loren and movie legend Marilyn Monroe were also in the top five, alongside supermodel Cindy Crawford. "When it comes to the most beautiful women of all time, head-turning, full-on glamour wins the day," said New Woman editor Helen Johnston....

Mary Carey, the porn star who made recent headlines for attending dinners with President Bush, has formally kicked off her campaign for California governor. "I don't think Arnold Schwarzenegger's been doing as good of a job as I could be doing," Carey announced in Norwalk, Calif., "so, therefore, I need to be governor of California." Carey made an attempt three years ago for the Golden State's top job in the wake of the recall of Gov. Gray Davis, but she lost to actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger. Though she previously ran as a Democrat, she's now an Independent, and will bypass the...
