Keep drinking your kool-aid idiots.

Me thinks the Repubs should do that 27 week chart in classic columns with Our Savior’s smiling face at the top of the present one.

They shoud also shoot Pelosi (with a camera, officer) and Reid in front of a stack of money. Pick either the pork typhoon or the general spending blizzard. Imagine the stack of $100 bills..

With the Cap Hill Dems busy on Healthcare, the national media leftiies are working overtime on spin for this sunny employment picture.

The rumor in Ny is that the next two or three reports (yes, they play that far ahead) will be about half as bad as this last one but still devstating.

The spin being considered: There were other, unseen, Bush caused problems (there are secular prayers for a commercial real estate collapse and etc.). Look at all the Republicans that supported the stimulus (Chrissy just did this, I am told). The stimulus is a long term “investment” (despite the mad rush and The One’s promises). We need to just pay down consumer debt so we are paying for the long party and damage of the last eight years (this is the lamest, I think,).

They really fear 16 percent loss margins in the next elections.

AP: Recovery? What recovery?

The AP has been trying hard to sell the idea of recovery over the last few weeks, but even the AP can’t spin double-digit unemployment.
In a piece published last night, they took a decidedly pessimistic……

No employer will hire additional employees if each employee is a tax liability

Maybe Nancy Pelosi and teh Obama should build more prisons.
They can hire workers to build the prisons and then jail the workers when the job is done and workers cannot afford health insurance.

1. CO2 reductions

2. High Unemployment is characteristic of Euro-Left countries, therefore it is leveling the playing field

3. Congress will continue to pass unemployment benes and healthcare will not be a problem

4. the political/upper classes are doing fine

so nothing to get all jazzed about, ok?

I dunno, but this isn’t a source I rely on, nor conclude any reasonable person can or should. Ever.

Thing is, they’ll be trying to sell us another phony recovery soon. I’m guessing the day after Thanksgiving…you know, talking up all the sales and stuff.

Saw a sign today for a storage unit place apparently desperate for customers. The marquee sign said, “HELP THE ECONOMY”. Been noticing what seems like an inordinate number of businesses closing around here, including a Blockbuster.

That’s how it always works, and that’s how we’ve gotten to where we are now. It almost makes the case for Libertarianism on its own.

Thank you for accepting my apology.

They are bitter that they are so shallow as to be unable to penetrate the pathetic MSM smokescreen that shielded their stooge throughout the campaign and the last 9 months of bungling stupidity.

They focus their juvenile outrage and hyperventilation on a cable network they claim is irrelevant, and on politicians and public figures they claim are imbeciles and nobodies. They bring their projected self-hate and animosity here, among other places, in search of some pathetic, bitter, catharsis that, sadly, will forever be their “torment of Tantalus”.

The funny thing about these kool-aid drinkers is that they aren’t even aware that they are their own most savage parodies. It’s actually merciful that they are so oblivious: no doubt if they were aware that so many were laughing at them, they would be deeply hurt.

I agree with your post and have begged people to not respond to them many times. It is just too hard for many, including myself sometimes to not say something. Also I suspect trolls, as long as they do not cross a certain line are good for HA business. They tend to make the total number of comments higher than they would be without them.

Oh, the souls I want to tear apart, too! I so often feel the same thing; we’re in the same boat.

the only thing that keeps me somewhat quiet if that reason and liberalism are diametrical opposites.

Now they think saying “RECOVERY, RECOVERY, RECOVERY” will bring the economy back.

And Dorothy clicked her ruby slippers and “Wished [she] was home.” And we all clapped to show we believed in Tinkerbell. Thinking that pretending there is a recovery will make it happen is just another fairytale as is the administration’s spin that unemployment is a lagging indicator and should be ignored.

Again, I apologize for misreading you.

Liam on November 7, 2009 at 6:01 PM

No problem. I don’t make myself very clear a lot of times.

And I agree 100% with your analysis, and I’d never thought of it that “troll” becomes a badge of honor.

Good point.

I misread you, and I apologize. I went to fast in my reading and didn’t pay right attention. My fault.

Again, I apologize.

I’m using the term ‘counter-posters’ for a reason. The trolls hate being called trolls, so they use that as a point against us. I seek to disarm them of a few bullets, so to speak. It’s a tactic, to take from their arguments.

Just an idea.

Again, I apologize for misreading you.

The observation of this has led me to whole new theories about the limitations of the human brain.

A good place to post the age-old observation that there is no such thing as “Idiot Proof” because you can never underestimate the ingenuity of the idiot.
