The Consipracy Deepens!
A well-known Trotskyite rag is reporting that new unemployment claims are significantly down. I wonder who or what is responsible for this faked data — ACORN? McCulloch v. Maryland? The saucer people? I hope Jack Welch will get to the bottom of it!








Reverse vampires.
In conjunction with the RAND Corporation.
Came to say just this. It’s got to be a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner.
Ah-HAH-ha-ha-ha-haaaa….Sorry.
Oh, hey, does this mean Jack Welch has to immediately quit the WSJ opinion page in high dudgeon, where “high dudgeon” means “the manner of a deranged self-entitled thuggish jackass”?
My masters are having a good laugh watching you peasants get all excited over a “great” jobs report of 7.8% Unemployment and +115,000 jobs that include fries, keep it up!
If anybody was “excited” about this, your response would actually be relevant!
Did JenBob actually use an accurate nym, or did you edit that?
Meh. We already know your masters can’t draw conclusions from a trend line. That’s why they kept on making those bets on mortgage securities.
Their next gambit will be that companies are hiring more because they think Mitt Romney will win.

Icarus will release the full details of this report on Friday.
I wouldn’t want to steal Steve Doocy’s thunder.
It’s all the fault of Griswold v. CT!
And Roe V. Wade.
Don’t ask why – IT JUST IS, THAT’S WHY!!!
Not to mention Eugene V. Debs.
And the Community Reinvestment Act.
My mom has among her cherished keepsakes from a life of HS history teaching the biography of Marbury V. Madison that was composed, on the fly, on a final exam by some poor student.
The V is for Victor, by the way. She is unclear whether Mr. Marbury’s middle name inspired Mom and Pop Debs…
Okay, that’s six shades of awesome.
Conservative media as a strategy of regulatory capture. Makes sense.
All this good news is at best a two-edged sword. The usual assumption is that good news favors the incumbent.
My theory is that electing a black President was a counsel born of desperation — when the country was plummeting down an elevator shaft, we’d try anything.
Now, though, extreme measures like that are less necessary, and we can begin to return to
normalwhite.It is kind of weird that analysis like that was pretty common in 2008, eg everyone trying to sound smart by saying “Bradley Effect” every five minutes, but this time around there’s not a lot of speculation along the lines of your comment.
I for one have a great uncle who voted for Obama in ’08 “because hell we sure as shit can’t give those fuckers the keys again” but this time around “can’t vote for the black guy, don’t trust him”.
Uncle doesn’t sound that great to me.
One state could account for 30,000 claims
From a commenter at Drum’s:
So there may be an effect, but likely not large. We shall see.
Per this, the amount of unprocessed claims is estimated to be somewhere between 15 and 25K.
It still could be a good drop, or it could be next to nothing. Whatever the case, the numbers should show up next week.
Thanks for finding that.
I blame Eric Holder. No doubt, he put on his Black Panther gear, went to the BLS, slapped a truncheon into his hand, and told Whitey to get the number below 340k.
Because that sounds so much like him.
Well, they are reporting that they are down significaantly due to a large state that hasn’t reported as expected.
If that state turns out to be a blue state, then those conspiracy rumors will start flying, and there will be no convincing the believers otherwise.
Surely there’s no need to have the op-ed page and the news page in harmony.
We need a modern-day J. Edgar Hoover to run roughshod through that Red Cabal of the WSJ.
