Charlie Sykes, Call Your Office

Charlie was getting his chuckles with a poll that showed people considered global climate change to be the bottom of their concerns at this moment in time.

What chuckling Charlie elides over is the fact that the voters also didn't consider tax cuts to be to important either. They would rather have the focus on the economy and on restoring jobs, like the ones that are about to be gone from Harley Davidson.

The reason for this avoidance of reality? Well, then it would ruin his next segment on his show, as he claims the only way to save the country are tax cuts. Too bad for Charlie that real business leaders don't agree with him.

Jessica solves the unemployment problem

Don't sit there in the central city saying there aren't any jobs.

Look in the classifieds. Whallah! Good jobs for everyone!

Sorry we ever doubted. She's a genius.

The March unemployment figures put the Milwaukee metro area jobless rate at 5.5%, but that doesn't count a lot of "discouraged" workers who are not officially in the pool and actively looking. That rate equals 43,932 people looking for work.

The headline on McBride's post is a classic:

THERE ARE ENOUGH JOBS TO FILL THE CLASSIFIED ADS EVERY SUNDAY

In the same way, I have marveled at the fact that there is just enough news every day to exactly fill the pages of the Journal Sentinel. They never run out, and there's never any extra. Whallah!

Then there's the fact that there are just the right number of every kind of job to match the population -- just enough executive jobs for people who want to be executives, and enough garbage collection jobs for people who want to collect garbage.

This must be what they call Intelligent Design, no?
