What About This Disaster Wasn’t Expected?

Who didn't expect this kind of massive increase in joblessness? Who doesn't get that we're in an economic meltdown?

“New jobless claims jump unexpectedly to 667,000″ says the Associated Press.

What about huge unemployment isn’t expected? Who didn’t expect this kind of massive increase in joblessness? Who’s the idiot that still hasn’t gotten the memo that the economy is falling apart?

Are We Rewarding Job Cuts?

Are we encouraging corporations to kick people to the curb?

The Reuters headline reads:

Wall Street bets on stimulus after job cuts

and all of a sudden the worrying thought occurs to me: Are we rewarding job cuts? Is it that corporations are learning that, if they’ll go on and cut enough jobs so that people believe in the reality of an economic crisis, the government will then come along and then give them lots of money?

Are we encouraging corporations to kick people to the curb?

Why Sue Per Bowl?

I don't care if your kitchenware is defective! You ought to have the decency to just file one lawsuit for all your dishes at once.

Everywhere I go tonight, I hear people talking about some kind of plan to “sue per bowl”. Sue per bowl, sue per bowl, sue per bowl!

Stop it already! I’m tired of hearing about your frivolous lawsuits! I don’t care if your kitchenware is defective! You ought to have the decency to just file one lawsuit for all your dishes at once…

…oh, what? A football game? They’re all talking about a football game?

Well that’s even sillier.
