Hard hitting reporting

With the tough economic times, it's nice to see that CNN is doing some hard-hitting reporting. Where was this stuff before the election?

Its laughable.

Michelle Obama’s Job Eliminated

Times are tough all over, the Obama's are down to one income,

She hasn’t shown up for work very regularly over the last year or so, so when Michelle Obama’s $300,000 job was cut at the University of Chicago Hospitals, it may have been hard to notice the difference.

HT to Paul R

Stimulus bill = 'Raw Deal'

I guess it was 30 years ago, the government gave out surplus cheese. Now they are giving out pork, but we do not have a surplus. All you little kiddies out there, you are going to be working for the man to pay for this pork bill the president signed today.

Some are saying this is the next 'New Deal'. I call it the 'Raw deal' and it's full of pork. Everyone knows the dangers of ingesting raw pork--trichinosis. From this site

Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and abdominal discomfort are the first symptoms of trichinellosis.

Yep, that pretty much sums up how I have been feeling about this bill.

Unemployment

Our new junior senator claims the new pork bill will create 105000 jobs in North Carolina. Currently, there are 400000 unemployed in the state which comes in at 8.7%. Therefore there are about 4.6 million workers. So fair citizens, we can look for an unemployment rate of (400000 - 105000)/4600000, which comes out to 6.4%. (Don't hold your breath waiting for this number.)

Hold on to your hat

The unemployment numbers for January come out tomorrow. Hold on to your hat. The dismal numbers will likely cause BOTO to push harder to quickly pass his, Reid and Pelosi's pork bill.

Ice breaker -- $88 million

I understand there is $88 million in the Obama Big Government bill for designing a new ice breaker for the coast guard. If all the ice is melting, why on earth would you need a new ice breaking ship? Sounds like more wasteful spending.

Pot, meet kettle.

"We have a bunch of idiots on Wall Street that are kicking sand in the face of the American taxpayer," an enraged McCaskill said on the floor of the Senate on Friday. "They don't get it. These people are idiots. You can't use taxpayer money to pay out $18 billion in bonuses."

Seems to me we have a bunch of idiots in congress voting to use taxpayer money to bail failed companies out in the first place...Pot McCaskill, meet Mr. Kettle.
