If I weren’t already blissfully happily married…

Bit of a loner otherwise. You’re sweet. Thanks.

I like your advice, and suspect your gardens and relationships thrive …

298. Bush job creation. Looking at Bureau of Labor Statistics seasonally adjusted numbers for nonfarm jobs (defined as those not involving farm work, general government, private households, or nonprofit organizations serving individuals), in its first 7 years (from January 2001 to December 2007), the Bush Administration created 5,609,000 jobs or ~67,000/month. 150,000 to 200,000 per month would be expected to accompany an economic expansion. During this same period, the economy lost 3,342,000 manufacturing jobs. These are the jobs that traditionally have had good wages and benefits and now account for only about 13.8 million of the nation’s 138.5 million nonfarm jobs (or about 10% of them).
By contrast in the 8 years of the Clinton Administration (from January 1993 to December 2000), 22,760,000 nonfarm jobs were created or ~237,000/month (more than 3 times the Bush rate). At the same time, manufacturing jobs showed a modest increase of 387,000. Despite his protestations to the contrary, these numbers paint a dismal picture of job growth during the Bush years.

So wrought up earlier, I i.d.’d Sen. Voinovichy as a D.

GOODGAWDNOOOO!!!

Voinovich is (R – OH)

*brain bleach, STAT!*

Some major Super D decisions made today. Including a Big Name Defection from the Hillary COMMITTED Column. This guy is actually Bill Clinton’s Select Appointee to head the DNC during the 1990’s (i.e. what Dean does now). His wife is also a Super D Committed to Clinton and is also supposed to be making a statement in the next day or two (either she has a few phone calls to make first explaining things to Hillary…or it will be a divorce announcement).

BTW Some of the dirt that is being thrown about by the Clinton camp in Indiana is that Obama is “buying” Super Delegates…that may have been a part of why he switched. Hillary’s team was opting to smear still Uncommitted Super Delegates (and Congressmen running this Fall) as part of her campaign against Obama. Talk about an idea backfiring.

Ever get so mad you…., well, it’s time to sneak out and yank thistles. A great calmer-downer since, if you yank hard & fast, you get stabbed. If you loosen and ease it out with a twinge of faux gentleness, you get the whole plant, root & all.

And precisely how many “low info rumor types” are there who visit FDL?

just to add insult to injury, mccain says mission accomplished banner not bush’s fault…

By mixing them together, you lead to semi-serious blog reports for the low info rumor types that Spitzer is involved in a death.

Although I think I already agreed.
