« Rudy Can't Fail, Part II: Bushies Talking Up Guiliani for DCI | Main | Updated My Blogroll »

*Almost* One Million

248,000 jobs in May, beating economists' expectations. April and March both revised upwards, so that 947,000 jobs were created in three months. And:

Virtually every major sector of the economy added jobs in May, from retailing to construction industries. Particularly notable were 32,000 new hires in manufacturing -- a fourth straight monthly increase and the biggest for any month since August 1998 when 143,000 manufacturing jobs were created, the department said.

A reader's email made me increase the size of the cowbell with this line:

Even Bruce Dickinson (yes, THE Bruce Dickinson) can't call for enough
cowbell here.

Okay, for THE Bruce Dickinson, more cowbell.

So how many jobs has Bush lost at this point? Have the libs upped it to 4 million yet?

I roll my eyes whenever my co-workers (mostly mindless Democrats) complain about the economy when there are so many indicators telling us that we're living in the midst of massive growth.

They talk out of both sides of their mouths.

I work for a Class 1 railroad in Ohio and this is the FIRST year in about 15 that we've been so busy January through March. My co-workers freely admit this too...then the next minute they say, "Ever since Bush fucked up the economy..."

Railroad shipping is an excellent economic indicator and is also one of the last industries to be affected by a spike in the economy -- which means that the growth has been occurring steadily for quite some time.

My doomsday supervisors even admit this...

That fuckin' Bush.

RightWing, they're not used to wearing gold-plated diapers.

I know it's hardly a likely outcome, but wouldn't it rock if employment for June were to increase by 1.2 million? I use that number because it works out to

40,000 men and women every day,
40,000 men and women every day.

Tonk, tonk, tonk....

Costa Rican National Police told The Post that Warner was pulled from the water by people in the area and taken to shore, where the Costa Rica Red Cross tried to revive him but were unsuccessful in their efforts.
His body was taken to the morgue at San Joaquin de Flores for an autopsy. The cause of death is listed as asphyxiation by "submersion."
