« Morley Safer: Reporters, but Not the Public, Should "Know Better" Than to Adulate Reagan | Main | Batter-Dipped French Fries Now Classified as "Fresh Vegetables" »

Did Kerry's Election Prospects Just Go "Boom"?

I covered this earlier, but this piece puts it into such dramatic terms that I have to hit it again:

Hiring Plans Near Boom Levels-- Survey

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. companies are gearing up to create jobs at rates not seen since the height of the 1990s boom, a survey released on Tuesday showed, adding to evidence that job growth will keep the U.S. economic recovery rolling.

...

Thirty percent of polled U.S. employers plan to add to their payrolls in the July to September period, the survey by Manpower Inc. showed. That is up from 20 percent a year earlier and 28 percent in the April to June period.

The survey hit its highest level of 35 percent in 2000, powered by the Internet-fueled boom.

The highest level was 35%. We're now at 30%.

That's not too shabby.

But it gets better:

Far fewer companies now plan to lay off employees, the survey showed, making the net year-over-year increase in employers planning to create jobs the largest in the history of the Manpower survey, which was started in 1976.

At some point, one hopes the rest of the media starts to take notice of all these "largest in history" achievements of the Bush Boom.

...

"It is at levels that were in place pre-recession," Manpower Chief Executive Jeffrey Joerres said in a telephone interview. "As more stability is occurring in demand, they (companies) look at their future saying, 'I am feeling good.' They have gotten off the fence to start hiring."

...

"If you look at the overall atmosphere, we still have geopolitical issues, we have an election year," Joerres said. "But companies are looking at their own business and saying, 'even with the noise I have to do something to expand my business."'

That's the actual headline of the piece, by the way. Finally, someone has used the "B" word (boom), even if caveated with the "near-" prefix.

And it gets better. That report comes from Reuters.

How the hell did they let this story sneak through?

Double-secret cowbell for the word "boom" finally slipping into a major-media headline:


Update! My sources tell me (my sources are dudes posting on Free Republic) that an Ipsos-Public poll shows the public increasing their evaluation of Bush's handling of the economy (page four).

I know what everyone's thinking:

"Oh, man...! The double-secret cowbell...! So it's not just a legend...!"

Nope. No legend. But it is exceedingly rare.

I bet Delta House is responsible.

Where are the others? Stratton? Schoenenstein?

That must explain the two pairs of gold plated diapers I just got in the mail.

Posted by: rdbrewer on June 15, 2004 02:47 PM

No, I think it was Robo House.

Sigh.

Ace, Ace, Ace. Your simplisme is refreshingly sweet and yet uninteresting.

Don't you know that the economy is only picking up because the market is anticipating that Kerry will win and then everything's gonna be all right?

It takes a sophisticated and nuanced mind....

Posted by: lauraw on June 15, 2004 03:02 PM

It's great news but the smell of pants-shitting over this is going to overwhelm Bush, I fear. Better fit Sully for his Depends now.

Posted by: Allah on June 15, 2004 03:10 PM

We're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the economy of the United States of America!

Posted by: Paul Zrimsek on June 15, 2004 03:51 PM

Oh great. Next comes Sulli's article on East Timor vs. Abu Ghraib. *sigh*

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford on June 15, 2004 04:08 PM

I'm all wet and wiggly over the double cowbells!

Screw Kerry. He's never gonna be the president.

My advice is to start drinking, and drink heavily.

You better listen to him, Flounder Krugman, he's in pre-med.

Posted by: Nick on June 15, 2004 06:05 PM

Funny how we no longer hear about the "jobless economy." Could Mr. "F-in" Kerry be runnin out of ammo.....?

Ace, What about all the people who work at the unemployment office? W's cruel economic policies are going to greatly increase the chances of them being laid off in the next few years. Where is their chance for the American dream? These victims of the extreme right wing economic policies will be forced to work for corporations run by Benedict Arnold CEO's where their life energies will be used to run a large computer that will create a false reality for all people so that the environmental disaster created by W can be covered up.

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.
For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.
More "fedslop" that Cavernous Nostrils is too smart to be taken in by:

Blake Neff
@BlakeSNeff

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."
Fenix Ammunition
@FenixAmmunition

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.

Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.

In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.

Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.

This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.

But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.

Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.

Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.

And a song with another song as an intro, too:
Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch
There's something
Inside that we need so much
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up
Thru tarmac, to the sun again

Boy do they look like absolute dorks.

And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

She always smiled for the people she'd meet
On trouble and strife
She had another way of looking at life
