Modest Job Creation in December

It's Official: Bush Creates Positivie Net Jobs in First Term

157,000 new jobs, a bit short of the 178,000 consensus estimate, but enough to reassure Wall Street that the expansion continues without setting off inflationary pressures.

More interesting, at least from a political-brickbat point of view, is the fact that George Bush just created net jobs in his first term. No longer is he the "only president to have lost jobs since Herbert Hoover." This BLS release, sent to me by Secret Super-Source "Deep Stoat," notes that Bush has created a net of 114,000 jobs since January 2001 (when you include the BLS revision to 2003's figures).

I don't think these figures are good enough to warrant cowbell. But they do seem like good political news; at least we can now say, "Awww, stuff it" when the Herbert Hoover quote is tossed out.

So, based on a commenter's suggestion, this gets not a cowbell, but a Vinny Falcone.

George Bush got a conductor like Vinny Falcone to ride this economy's ass.

Do you like your jobs? Do you want to keep your jobs?

Well do you?

Now they'll just say "the fewest jobs since Herbert Hoover."

Oh well, they suck like Hoovers anyway.

Look at that expression on his face.....oh yes....there will be no loose shit on his watch

I can see the headlines now....

"Fewest new jobs since President Bush announced the end of 'major hostilities' in Iraq after his famous aircraft carrier landing."

It would not surprise me if these are jobs that were created as a result of the ongoing conflict in Iraq.

Vinnie Falcone makes a much better image than Cowbell guy, his type of music is just plain better like it or not. And if you want to keep your fucking jobs you'll say so!

I heard on NPR of all places this morning, that it was most jobs created since 1999, for the year. Or something like that..
ah hell do commenters have to have sources/fact check? I’m not a blogger after all .... but I am no nick coleman either... So....

The Labor Department reported Friday that the 2.2 million new jobs created in 2004 were the most in any year since 1999,
quick search and voila

What is the CONFUSION on these job reports? I don't get it. What's it gonna be guys? Our economy is not gonna be as srong as our weakest link.

Posted by: Nordicgirl on January 7, 2005 01:55 PM

the job numbers are useless info.
the economy is out of control, literally. so is our society in a way.
compliance with federal and local regulations and laws is at a crisis point, regardless of what you may hear. (immigration,taxes,dollar,war,elections)
this pits everyone agin everyone.
this is always good for bidness for our benevolent fed goverment.

It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
