Unexpectedly

Did you hear the latest news about jobs? As expected, fewer new workers were added than expected.

No, you didn't read that wrong. That's what happened.

Seems the experts expected more jobs to be added than were added. And this happens a lot. Go back and read all the news reports about jobs and prices and such. You'll see the phrases "unexpected" or "worse than forecast" and phrases like that.

Today's is a report from Bloomberg that says, essentially, "Whoops! Not as many jobs as the experts thought":

Companies in the U.S. added fewer workers than forecast in May, a sign that job growth is struggling to gain momentum, data from a private report based on payrolls showed today.

How many weeks, months, and, now, years, do the "experts" that are carrying the water for Obama and his Merry Band of Misfits have to be wrong before the media quit considering them as experts.

Trick question! The mainstream media is part of Obama's Happy Horde!

I wonder what all surprises that crew.

• A man fell into the river and was unexpectedly wet.
• A man poked a live alligator with a sharp stick and was unexpectedly bitten.
• A man stuck his hand in the fire and was unexpectedly burned.
• The home team was outscored by the other team and unexpectedly lost the game.
• A couple went on vacation to Florida and unexpectedly encountered several beaches.
• The wind blew and the trees unexpectedly swayed,
• A child bit into an ice cream and it was unexpectedly cold.
• The sun unexpectedly rose in the east this morning.
• A blogger wrote a post reusing some of the same examples he used in a post less than 24 hours earlier and readers unexpectedly noticed.

I think we have the new campaign slogan for Obama: Expect The Inexpected!

Horrors! Republicans wants illegal things to be crimes! The brutes!

DNC Chair Wasserman Schultz is claiming that Republicans want to consider being an illegal alien a crime.

Oh, the humanity! The horror! The ... what's that again?

Yes, she's appalled that Republicans would want people who are in this country illegally to be considered ... illegal.

Well, well, well. Let's look up "illegal" in the dictionary. Merriam-Webster. Not Urban Dictionary. That's useful for looking up words and phrases you hear on Red Eye. But for regular words that normal people use, Merriam-Webster will do.

illegal: adj \(ˌ)i(l)-ˈlē-gəl\
not according to or authorized by law : unlawful, illicit

Synonyms: criminal, felonious, illegitimate, illicit, lawless, unlawful, wrongful
Antonyms: lawful, legal, legitimate

And those evil, evil Republicans want illegals to be considered the first word listed by Merriam-Webster as a synonym: criminal. Can you imagine.

We did some checking. And she's right. And not only that, here are some other things Republicans consider to be true that are contrary to her and the Democrats way of thinking. Besides being somewhere illegally being a crime.

• Fire is hot.
• Water is wet.
• Sky is blue.
• Women have secrets.
• Ice is cold.
• Grass is green.
• Diamonds are hard.
• Circles are round.
• Bacon is yummy.
• Roses are red.
• Violets are purples.
• Sugar is sweet.
• So's maple surple.
• Ducks quack.

It must be nice to be that stupid and still get paid.

Memorial Day 2011

Memorial Day means, to many, the start of summer.

Many people, it seems, use the time to remember to buy burgers. Or get charcoal. Or pick up some brews.

The rolling of Memorial Day into a three-day weekend has, like the other "Monday holidays," diluted its significance.

But, not everyone forgets what Memorial Day is about.

The families of those who fought and died -- they know what Memorial Day is all about.

The children whose father or mother won't ever come home from war -- they know what Memorial Day is all about.

The wife or husband who won't ever be able to greet her/his spouse at the airport -- they know what Memorial Day is all about.

The grieving parents of a fallen soldier, seaman, airman, or Marine -- they know what Memorial Day is all about.

Everyone who lives in this great country of ours -- they should know what Memorial Day is all about. And most do.

Go ahead and enjoy the cookout. Enjoy the friends and family you have over. Enjoy the day off work.

Just remember who helped make it possible -- and is not here to enjoy it with you.

You should enjoy Memorial Day. But you should also remember.

Even the Twitterz knows

All that fancy technological computer stuff that the Twitterz uses knows that the media thinks just like Barack Obama.

Here's a screen capture from Obama's Twitter page:



See that down in the corner? Where it lists other Twitter users that are similar?



See? I don't see anyone from Fox News listed. Actually, I don't see anyone from CNN listed, either, which sort of surprised me.

When I did a refresh of the page, CBS News did come up. Did a lot more refreshes. George Stephanopoulos, some critter from NPR, and ... Twitter.



Which means that those of you who kept saying Twitter was teh ghey ... may have been right all along.

Replacing Ed Schultz

Thank you for coming in. Have a seat.


Danke, mein Herr!


Just sit down. Now, what was it you wanted to see me about, Hans?


Herr Griffin. I heard about the trouble that Eddie is in. I know he's currently only on suspension ... but everybody knows that an opening could occur.


...


Ah. I, um, just want you to keep me in mind if the opportunity arises.


Hans, while I appreciate your initiative, I really must say that ... well, I don't see anything in your resume that indicates any broadcast experience.


"Broadcast" ... "experience?"


Yes, here at MSNBC, we prefer to have experienced professionals on the air.


...


Okay, you got me! We'll put anybody on the air. But -- and understand that there is not currently an opening for Ed Shultz' position -- if we were to put another personality on the air, we want to make sure that person is a good fit.


Oh! I would be a perfect fit, Herr Griffin.


Well... let's see. What do you know about the economy.


I know nothing!


Mmm hmm. What about the legal system in this country?


Nothing! I know nothing!


Hmph. American history?


Absolutely nothing.


The legal system? Education?


Nothing! About everything I know nothing!


Where did work before? Your colleagues?


Ah. Well. I ran a toy factory before the war...


What about recently?


Well, it has been some time. But my last job was working with a bunch Nazis.


Hmmm. Actually, Hans, you do have an impressive resume. You would fit right in around here. If an opening comes up, I'll keep you in mind.
