Fed: Inflation Tame, Hiring StrongWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. jobs picture showed signs of improvement in April and May, the Federal Reserve (news - web sites) said on Wednesday, as potentially worrisome wage pressures and consumer prices appeared tame.
"Many Reserve Banks reported modest increases in consumer prices, but most districts noted rising prices of inputs, especially energy-related products, building materials, and steel." Steel. The lifeblood of the cowbell industry. Key quote: "Employment activity continued to improve, with hiring increasing at a faster pace in most districts." That means we're looking for better than 300,000 jobs per month down the road. 300,000 jobs per month -- if it continues long enough -- means that Bush will actually create net jobs by November. It also means that he'll be creating jobs at a much faster pace than the 10 million in four years promised by Kerry. Vote for John Kerry He promises to create fewer jobs than his opponent. Again, I'm unable to afford any cowbells at this time. However, I can offer a TOPPS trading card of C3PO sporting an erection:
Hey...! "Didn't you already do those last two jokes like three months ago?" I believe in recycling. Don't you? Give me a break. How much mileage has Wonkette gotten out of the words "butt" and "sex"? posted by Ace at 02:43 PM

OK, I always knew that c3po was gay, but I never could have imagined he was so HUNG! I mean damn. Posted by: Marty on June 16, 2004 03:13 PM
Well, obviously it's not exactly a "woodie"... A "wookie", then? The nickname "Goldenrod" sure takes on new connotations, as well. Posted by: nathan on June 16, 2004 04:44 PM
FYI: in the current issue of Esquire (Lance Armstrong on cover), they have this jokey section in the footer on the first few pages where they list "Life's Rules" at random. Rule No. 458 (or whatever) mentions that any song is improved 33% by the inclusion of ... COWBELL! Seems that Ace's influence is starting to seep into the mainstream. Today the footers...tomorrow who knows? Posted by: george gaskell on June 16, 2004 06:04 PM
To tell you the truth, I expected the Paul Anka thing to be the new "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" by now. Oh, well. Posted by: ace on June 16, 2004 06:58 PM
Patience Ace - Paul's time will come! Seriously though, sometimes I question your commitment to Anka hammer slicing motion. Posted by: Enas Yorl on June 16, 2004 09:02 PM

Well I guess they could have opened it on the Snake Canyon.
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 OwensFor 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.

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.

Doing alright A little jiving on a Saturday night And come what may Gonna dance the day away Jenny was sweet She always smiled for the people she'd meet On trouble and strife She had another way of looking at life
