Obama’s Fake Job Numbers

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:40:42 -0500

Don't ask me about seasonal adjustment. I've been trying to figure this out all morning, and I can't. But the raw numbers, million jobs in December, million jobs in January, give or take a couple hundred thousand either side. But when the seasonal adjustments take place, there is a gain of , whatever they're reporting, , jobs. Now, what's happening is the labor force is shrinking. There are fewer jobs. Even the Drive-Bys, so excited, they can't wait to report the good news, but even they are reporting that the labor force participation rate, number of jobs out there, is continuing to dwindle, and most of the jobs being created are low wage.

The Galileo Conspiracy

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:01:56 -0500

As a young lad, I took on my first scientific experiment simplybecause I could. Like most curious youngsters who ownwalky-talkies, I could only resist for so long the urge to buryone of them well behind enemy lines in the bread aisle at thelocal grocery store, to see what startled shoppers might make ofextroverted wheat. This, my first foray into the field ofagorology -- the very scientific study of shopping, shoppers andshoppingcarts -- told me just what I needed to know.Would they simply scurry off, fearing all that is both sourdoughand articulate, or might they try to hunt down the source of thetaunting loaves? The jovial, phoney French accent that greetedeach customer in the aisle proved harder to maintain -- whiletrying hard not to laugh -- than I had anticipated. In the end,fear of the manager bigcheesophobia cut short thedata-gathering event, but not before we -- Tony my assistantand I -- had learned far too much. We now knew the inside truthabout science, ...
