Hehe... this is one of the few places I can vent a little. I can come in here and kick off my shoes, so to speak. Sorry about the smell... ;)

#7 The previous week's figure was revised up to 412,000 from 408,000.

Last week's numbers had shown a decline. Now it's an increase, which is why the preliminary numbers mean nothing.

#8 The term 'unexpectedly' is a rhetorical gimmick to make the continuing deterioration of the economy seem less painful and foreboding than it is. Current headline reads better than "US Initial Jobless Claims Rise Again"

#9 As a lifelong, committed advocate of Obama for World Emporer, I demand a US Justice Department "investigation" of the U.S. Department of Labor. These numbers appear well, well racist!

#12 The Dallas Fed will henceforth be providing monthly updates on employment in Texas through our website, he said. We hope it will be a useful tool for everyone, ranging from columnists who write for The New York Times to the pundits who provide commentary for Fox News, as well as serious economists.

lol

#14 That's gotta hurt. It's also notable that he made extended remarks about his reason for dissenting in the last FOMC meeting. Things will be getting rougher.

#15 Unexpectedly.

There you use that word again. I do not think that word means what you think it means.

#16 thank ~~God~~ Gaia Obama's quit taking daily economic briefings. He might be distracted and depressed. Can't help his golf game. Better this way
