According to the Associated Press, unemployment rose from 9.7 to 9.9% as a result of a strengthening economy.
The economy got what it needed in April: A burst of hiring that added a net 290,000 jobs, the biggest monthly total in four years. It showed employers are gaining confidence as the recovery takes deeper root.
But people who had given up on finding jobs are gaining confidence, too, and are now looking for work. That’s why the unemployment rate rose from 9.7 percent to 9.9 percent and will likely go higher.
Unemployment edges near 10% after we have pumped hundreds of billions of dollars (money that we did not have) into the economy, an act that was supposed to keep unemplyment from topping 8%, but don’t worry – the AP reports that Happy Days Are Here Again! Rising unemployment is a good thing, don’t you know that?
It doesn’t bother me that the AP and the rest of the establishment media are shills for the Obama Administration in particular and the Democrat party in general. That’s not revelatory. What bother me is that they think we’re as dumb as a box of rocks. They really think we’re stupid.
UPDATE
Mark Levin devoted his entire opening monologue this past Friday to this contralogical statist propoganda put out by the AP and others that rising unemployment in a good thing, in the face of
- massive national debt imposed on us by the Obama regime
- the impending collapse of the Euro with Greece as the proverbal canary in the coal mine
- looming oppressive taxation to support the most massive entitlement (Obamacare) in American history
- inevitablity of some form of cap-and-tax scheme to smother the last vestiges of free market capitalism in this country
- instability of the stock market, as evidenced by the DOW’s recent 1,000 point plunge last week
- government takeover of the world’s largest auto maker
- government takeover of student loans
- government takeover of the home mortgage market
- government takeover of the financial markets
…and on and on and on. The statists are trying to convince us that down is up, loss is gain, and bad is good. It’s almost as though they believe words have a magical power all their own, that all one needs to do is say that such-and-such is, and -voila! – it happens. All Obama has to do is say that rising unemployment is a good thing, and – voila! – it is.
Everybody SING:
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let’s sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again!

Add CNN to the list of Polanski apologists. The girl was vaguely described as a “teenager” in the report who was given merely a “sliver” of a quaalude and “perform[ed] various sex acts, including intercourse.” That doesn’t sound as bad as sodomy of a drugged 13 year-old girl, does it? The original judge who sentenced Polanski is described as “media-obsessed.” Finally, CNN notes that the rape victim “…is among those calling for the case to be tossed out.” So why don’t we just give this perverted child-drugging sodomizer a break? Come on, people! We live in a time when documentaries about a man’s sexual excapades with horses is given serious consideration in film festivals. Get with the program! Sodomy with children is OK as long as you’re famous. -TTTP Webmaster

I am so sick of the Left being allowed to make the rules. Imagine the absurdity of a competition in which one side is allowed to set the rules against their opponent. The Left tells us what is racist. The Left tells us what we can and cannot say. The Left published a cartoon depicting former black Secretary of State Condolezza Rice as an Aunt Jemima; another depicted Rice as a huge-lipped parrot for her Massa Bush. Neither were considered racist by their creators or publishers, or even widely condemned on the Left.
In opposition to black Republican Michael Steele’s campaign to run for U.S. Senate, a liberal blogger published a doctored photo of Steele in black face and big red lips made to look like a minstrel. The caption read, “Simple Sambo wants to move to the big house”. Not one Democrat denounced these racist portrayals of black conservatives.
The rules set by the Left are extremely clear. Racist images of black conservatives and negative images of Bush are fair game. Even a play about murdering President Bush was called “harmless art”. Meanwhile, all unflattering images of Obama are racist, and constitute dangerous, potentially violent hate speech.
The main stream media have added to their already legendary disgrace by ignoring the Van Jones story and allowing the President to have the holiday weekend to bury it. This is another example of the press working to support the Leftist takeover of America.
