I think we should remember that 60 Leftist Minutes has one more show to go before the election.

Next Sunday, two days before the election, do not be surprised if they roll out a show that hammers Bush and the pubs and lays what they reported the previous Sunday (tonight) at their feet.

Management's choice: I knew and worked with PhDs in the sciences who had been forced to train in their H1B replacements in order to get severance.

NO cheers, unfortunately.

I shop at both Aldis and Trader Joes and love them both.

Cheers!

“Did you notice that the entire piece focused on white people only? Not one story in it showing blacks, Hispanics, Asians...nadda...all white unemployed. Found that to be quite interesting.”

Stupid “crackers” who voted for the islamist and friend of the new Black Panther Party that wants to kill “Cracker babies.”

People are so stupid. They are easily brainwashed by TV because they are not very bright. By definition, anyone who watches TV is not very bright.

Amazing. As soon as the rats got control of congress, beginning ‘07, unemployment began to climb from very low numbers.

With a pre-med degree, not getting into med school, I worked in a factory that recycled oil and helped save the company a cool six figures in a year while being paid $3.25 per hour. Had to wash my clothes in lye daily, as nothing weaker would clean it.

I didn’t make a career of it, because I learned enough to see the shady side of the job. Different jobs and industries have different needs.

And to the guy who thinks lower taxes and less regulation aren’t enough. Higher taxes and more regulation got us into the mess. Reversing course will take time, but it’s the only thing that will get us out the mess. But we will probably go through a collapse like Russia in the early 1990s first. Government employees will be hard hit (sob).

Rush had a statistic that I could not believe until I looked it up: 85 percent of college seniors surveyed planned to move back in with their parents.

Yet, they voted overwhelmingly for the "change" Obama is bringing them. I predict that this is a generation that will become conservative much faster than normal. Getting mugged by reality has a way of doing that to people.

I hope you’re right, but........I think we should remember that 60 Leftist Minutes has one more show to go before the election.

I just watched this on CBS.com.

My big takeaway from this report was that the people in this video and a lot of the people like them were living in a total Fantasyland until this happened.

There was a guy that was paid $200K a year to be a "personnel manager" and a lady that was making $70K a year as an "office manager."

Those positions in most of the rest of country wouldn't pay more than $30K a year.

There is a graph that has been posted here that showed Unemployment Statistics when Democrats or Republicans were controlling Congress.

Democrats in charge, Unemployment goes up. Republicans in charge, Unemployment goes down.

The best thing that ever happened to Bill Clinton was Newt Gingrich.

“What? Go to Aldi’s— Butter is $2 a pound there.

You hafta know where I live......not possible!”

How about a Costco? About $2 or even less per pound on butter.

The rat congress was elected in late ‘06, but they didn’t start until Jan. ‘07.
