Paging the Oxford English Dictionary editors!

Please note the new English verb: “to Optimistic”

[Uncle Ike]

“to

Et tu, Liberty??

Being optimistic is better than being pessimistic, but being realistic is not in the realm possibilty for many people. Most of the unemployed will never make the same kind of money or enjoy the same lifestyle ever again. Welcome to Obama's America, where the goal is not to encourage prosperity, but rather to spread the misery around.

Yeah, I was going to say that if this headline is any indication, there are still plenty of journalist/editor jobs available with little qualification.

Hey Lori, what happened to those Freepers who were suggesting all these millions of Americans who were working just a few years ago, who are now unemployed, are all just lazy no good bums?

Where'd those people go?

[Larry Lucido]

John Carney has deluded himself into thinking he earns his pay as a writer.

If they’d move to Dallas/Ft. Worth or other major cities in Texas, chances are they’d have a job. That’s my plan. When I lived there before, I NEVER had a problem finding a decent job. http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=&l=Mesquite%2C+TX+75149&radius=50

“it’s twoo, it’s twoo!

[dragnet2]

I agree, I think 20 million people should move to Dallas!

[Revolting cat!]

“it’s twoo, it’s twoo!

Well, that's in Fabulousonics, so it don't count!

What this means is that many Americans our so called president still have not hasn't processed the dire reality of our economic situation.

FIXED!

Perhaps they won’t live as lavishly because they won’t overextend themselves. Too many lived well on CREDIT, not through being able to actually afford it. I suppose that this mess will last only for so long that Obama is in office, not through any major job innovations. Companies are not going to trust setting up in the US for some time, with a Republican govenrment or a Democrat one. We’re going to have to work to show that teh govenrment will no longer interfere in businesses as long as they are operating legally.

OBAMAVILLE

Gett’n a head fake,
watchin' msn’s take;
All of their pundits oozing foul oil.
Clean’n my six gun on my front porch swing.
Felling my blood--
It’s beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know it's Obama’s fault.

There’s no rhyme or reason,
They are all commitin’ treason
With nothing to show but a brand new tax or two.
But they are real beauties,
Despotic duties, how they got passed
I haven't a clue.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that it’s Bush we should blame,
Now I think,-- hell with them it’s Obama’s fault.

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top;
Cut my heel, but I just cruise on back home.
Because no medical care will the doctors render
They say there’s little service I can tender
And there’s no need for me to hang on.

Wasted away again in Obamaville
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that Bush is to blame,
And I know because of my vote it's my own damn fault damn fault.

But what about that Sputnik/Green jobs thingy? Please tell me Hope and change and win the future are not just empty slogans!

[dragnet2]

As Mish points out, there are around 14.5 million unemployed people.

Like there are only 12 million illegals in the U.S.?

I'd bet it's easily much closer to 20 million unemployed...

Lovely song, you should sing that on YouTube.
