U.S. Initial Jobless Claims Fell to 315,000 Last Week (lowest since 2000)

I sure hope the new jobs number his higher than the 170,000 expected. It would be nice to see this number greater with an upward revision for the past two monts.

Now, I have drenched my keyboard with coffee while reading this and looking at the picture:

Did you know I was in Viet Nam???.. before I became a transvestite burqua wearing perpetraitor.. err..skuuze me..that's perpetrator.

Yes, if you had read my entire statement you would have seen it was sarcastic!!!! What I said is what the libs are always whining about that the jobs are meaningless, worthless, non-bennie jobs, low waged, etc, etc, etc. They seem to think every job created should be $100,000 a year plus all bennies, for high school dropouts who have no skills or experience.

I watch daily on the ferry which I ride from Bremerton to Seattle and see the lost people who made crummy decisions in life commuting to Seattle to work in deadend jobs, making minimum wage (WA state is about $2 higher than the fed min wage by the way), and whining that they are working for peanuts. They are unwashed, dirty looking, ragged clothes, or crummy dressed. They are uneducated, unprepared, unskilled workers. They think they should be CEO of Microsoft or something. One woman I see every day is about 25 years old. She has three kids, no husband, and the kids are all from different men from what I have been told. She is grossly overweight, unkempt, and a high school drop out. She thinks the government should give her health care and extra money to take care of her kids. She says the old demo line, "the rich have all the money. It is Bush's fault that I lost some of my benefits!!!" Her stinking benefits???? Excuse me, those are not benefits. Those are free, vote buying, HANDOUTS! At every worker's expense! Yet, this fat slob wants us to carry her miserable butt through life for the stupid decisions she had made. Sorry, I'm not in a forgiving mood for these stupid people. Heck, I knew at 18 when I left home and joined the Army that life was on me. My mother and father preached that if I was not going to college right after high school, then I had to get a job, get a skill, go to work. I worked before I went into the Army and went to college at the same time. I wanted a break from school so chose to enter the Army.

So, in answer to your question, yes, I was being sarcastic, I am very sarcastic to these individuals!!! I am sick and tired of the "poor me" crap! Sick and frigging tired of it!!!!!

The number of Americans filing initial claims for jobless benefits dropped to 315,000 last week, the fewest since October 2000, a government report showed.

Everyone knows this is just because they immediately moved into homeless shelters because they know this is the worst economy since Herbert Hoover!!!
