We are like a rudderless ship steaming at flank speed in a field of icebergs.

I hope this won’t affect Obamas’ golf game.

...and if you think that number is shocking and (a-hem) "unexpected", just wait until you all get a load of next month's unemployment rate announcement.

Put it on your calendars now, kids: Monday, December 3rd, 8:30am. Should be good for a few laughs. Especially from the vicinity of the White House... "Hah!!! We thumbed the stupid unemployment rate down into the 7s and the idiots actually believed it, rather than their own eyes!!! Stupid sheep!"

My guess: 8.5%, and heading higher.

Who in the he77 didn’t see this coming? With the BS numbers that they have been putting out for the past couple of months, they have to bring the reported figures somewhat into line eventually. I don’t have a doubt that the real figure exceeds a half mil. BLS: Bulls*** Labor Statistics.

Unexpectedly, of course.

you can convince me that these numbers weren’t goosed for the election.
