Stay Tuned for: "The Surge Hasn't Accomplished It's Goals

...and the war economy is lost" from our feckless Senate leader.

Futures jump on strong economic data

Wall Street rose sharply higher in early trading Wednesday after a pair of reports indicated the economy is in good shape but also left open the possibility of an interest rate cut.

...Investors were also encouraged Wednesday after the department reported worker productivity advanced by an annual rate of 6.3 percent in the summer, the fastest pace in four years, while wage pressures eased.

Private employers added 189,000 jobs in November, a report by a private employment service said on Wednesday, much higher than market expectations and the biggest monthly increase in a year.

...The ADP report suggests Friday's closely watched payrolls report from the government, which includes public and private sector hiring, could be much stronger than expected.


One prescient presidential candidate...
...warned Sunday that the U.S. economy would collapse unless Americans learned to make economic sacrifices.

"I think the economy is standing on a trap door, and I don't know that we necessarily hold the levers,"...

...After blasting the president for the exploding national debt, the top Democrat boasted that his predecessor - her husband - "did it just right."

"The deficit reduction act didn't get one single Republican vote. He took on the gun lobby with the Brady bill. He took on health care," she declared.


...got it wrong in 2005, but is still singing the same tune today.

..."It's time for that to change. It's time for Americans to have a president in the Oval Office who makes decisions based on their interest, not the special interests."

...led by the nation's premier doom and gloom impresario.

If anyone knows 'lost', it's Harry.

Doesn't it look like he's...well...fondling the mike?

Maybe that's why it's named 'Mike'.

I don't know ~ I'm just guessing.

Actually, it looks like he is doing something unmentionable with the mic stand. He IS in love with the sound of his own voice, but that is just wrong on every level.
