AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do—that’s host. Get ready to what you were born to do—that’s listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).
Well, I guess we’ll just have to take our small minds out for a walk together, won’t we?
Suppose we should get somebody to sign us out so we don’t trip and hurt ourselves......
such is the cross you intellectuals must bear
IMO, people in this country are poor by choice. We have every opportunity to make of our lives what we want. I know I could have been a lot richer if I had the ambition to do so. The fact that I’m not is no one’s fault but my own. (except for what the government has stolen from me):p
I shall be happy to accompany both of you.
snicker
i think most people are exactly where they want to be
everyone places their time and energy into what they value most - there are more important things than accumulating wealth
wealth don’t buy a caring daughter
Come sit and welcome.....
(I’d bow, but it really looks stupid when you’ve just put on a hard hat.)
As I drove away, it dawned on me that the real travesty is that this guy probably votes in every election!
“——the administration has been cooking the books to keep unemployment lower than it would be.”
I believe that!
We said basically the same thing, just in a different way.
..and that his kind are legion. Those are the voters that the 30 second ads work so well on.
Somebody used your card. You need to stop payment and find out who used it.
We don’t want you to ‘go away’ we want you to become a real conservative who deals with ideas instead of talking points.
let’s see your certificate that allows you to deem who is a ‘real conservative’
you misunderstood the point that has you raging
here is my certificate that allows me to deem you troll
Not true anymore.......You show up once to file a claim and use their computers if you wish to do a job search or post your resume on line. Of course you can do that at home too.........All checks during that 26 week period are mailed to your home.
Following the initial 26 weeks of U.I., you apply for the TRA continuation which then requires you to fill out a bi-monthly form listing all employers you applied with....and that includes employers you may have only sent a resume to, during the period you receive the TRA extension benefits. All job searchs can be done at home on the internet, and were in my case.
During my first year of unemployment, I only reported to the U.I. office twice. The first time to file a claim then the second time to file for the TRA extention and to be given the forms that were required to be filled out twice a month........
Following the year of unemployment, I was then given the opportunity to be provided job re-training or college education. Based on the test they gave me, which I scored quite high on, they were willing to waive the job re-training and provide me with college classes.
The only problem I had with that was that you were required to attend college full time, meaning a minimum of 12 college credits. I already have two years of college, 35 years of human resource experience and the additional two years paid by the state would have provided me with a bachelors degree.
Well, the reality of it all is that at the age of 57 (at that time) with the experience I have in the automotive industry which afforded me nothing while I was searching for employment, the continuing education that would have given me a college degree at the age of 60 would have been a complete waste of my time.
Any company in S.E. Michigan still in operation has literally a plethora of over qualified applicants to choose from who will now work for whatever they can get.......And an old guy with merely a bachelors degree isn't even going to get a call.

Thanks for the update on the mechanics of that. I think your clarification confirms the point of the discussion which is that when people are no longer on unemployemnt or officially looking they are no longer counted as part of the labor force. A longstanding practice and not an Obama manipulation per se as Rush seemed to be saying.
