The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Somewhere over the rainbow one million jobs were saved
The Man Behind the Teleprompter says he has "created or saved" more than one million jobs in the past 7 months thanks to his $787 Billion dollar Stimulus Plan.
Where? In government? Out here unemployment is at a 26 year high.
He is aware of these charts, right? They're produced by The Bureau of Labor Statistics, an arm of the federal government.
You'll note the 2 blue lines, denoting Obama's "worst case scenario" projection of the unemployment rate, with and without his Stimulus plan. He wildly underestimated how many people would be out of work, didn't he? So how can we be sure his estimate of jobs "saved or created" is valid now?
Let's see, maybe there is a chart showing how many total jobs there are in a given month? Why yes, yes there is! And it comes right out of that very same Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Hmmm. The total number of available jobs keeps going down. I guess the guys at BLS didn't get the memo saying to sugarcoat the data.
By my reckoning Obama hasn't created any jobs at all; and it's dubious to assume that his actions have "saved" any of the jobs that do remain.
Or to be more blunt — Mr. Obama, "You lie!"
