What a fraudulent crock! Glaciers “calve” all the time, and dollars to dogturds, this wasn’t the largest example of a glacier calving, by a long shot. More glo-bull warming (B)arbara (S)treisand! Just because the boat got too close, and the dweeb holding the camera lost his balance when the boat rocked a little bit....THAT....is supposed to make everyone swoon and panic and sell their SUV. Balderdash! and Poppycock! And a goodly amount of Hogwash thrown in for good measure!

Seasonally, though, the numbers are STILL very low for automotive manufacturing jobs, however, I do see your point about Service Sector jobs:

Employment activity in the non-manufacturing sector grew in July, as ISM's Non-Manufacturing Employment Index registered 52.5 percent. This reflects a decrease of 1.6 percentage points when compared to the 54.1 percent registered in June. Nine industries reported increased employment, one industry reported decreased employment, and eight industries reported unchanged employment compared to June. Comments from respondents include "Filling some vacancies on a case-by-case basis" and "Slightly lower due to end of assignments/jobs."

The industries reporting an increase in employment in July — listed in order — are: Real Estate, Rental & Leasing; Mining; Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing & Hunting; Transportation & Warehousing; Wholesale Trade; Retail Trade; Finance & Insurance; Public Administration; and Accommodation & Food Services. The only industry reporting a reduction in employment in July is Professional, Scientific & Technical Services.

To my mind, this does NOT call for QE3 and the inflationary pressures this act will cause, even though the trends over the last few weeks show deflationary tendencies.

During an appearance on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show last night, Dem. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) joined to talk about the economy. During that discussion, the almost unmistakeable sound of Frank passing gas could be heard. And the almost unmistakeable sight of him lifting his leg was visible:
