  1. Isn't this really IRONIC ?- those in the room at Obama's Job Creation Summit were those leading the way in US job losses: http://tr.im/GAih
  2. It's worse for men #2... Another interesting labor stat. from the WSJ - past yr. men w/ jobs got an ave. 2% comp. increase; women got 3.2%.
  3. It's worse for men... Interesting report in the WSJ this w/e on #unemployment. Current unemployment rate is 11% for men; 8.4% for women.
  4. Great idea for stimulus $ from #entrepreneur John Sie: instead of rewarding failing firms, reward successful ones: http://tr.im/BSx8
  5. Oops- economy lost way more jobs than expected in Aug. (9.8% unemployment now) but at least the stock markets are doing well. Oops, "were".
  6. Karen Gaffney, 31 yr. w/ Down Syndrome to swim 8 miles across Boston Harbor- October 8. (She's already swum Eng. Channel). How cool!!
  7. Bernake says that the recession is over... hmm- I thought smoking that stuff is illegal! Unemployment @ 9.7% ≠ the end of the #recession.
  8. Heard something interesting on @MktplaceRadio . FB has just gone profitable, but their ave. revenue/user is only $20, while Google's $100!
  9. Admiring fmr. #President Jimmy Carter for his class, going to Jody Powell's (his fmr. press sec., just died) mom's nursing home to tell her-
  10. Thinking about all the folks laid off by companies, & state & local #government & wondering if the Fed. gov. has *ever* done the same? #HC09
  11. A negative on the #Obama health plan for #HC09- Cost! $900B (at a min.) on top of a $9,000B projected #deficit ??? Kids will grow up broke.
  12. A positive on the #Obama health plan for #HC09- malpractice reform (hopefully reform eliminating wrongful birth/life suits as well) .
  13. Wasn't meant to be. The #RU football defense struggled. Cincinnati was strong on both sides. 2 Freshman only bright spots- Savage and Sanu
  14. is hoping that #Rutgers Scarlet Knights start the season off w/ a big #football win today vs. Cincinnati, last year's #Big_East champs!
  15. A bit sad, wondering about Labor Day for the 9.7% of #unemployed Americans (latest stats) and the 25% who are #underemployed...
  16. Beyond scary. US #Federal_deficit is projected to reach $9,000 Billion- that's right- $9Thousand Billion as the govmt. takes on more & more.
  17. USA Today reports rising US #budget_deficit (- $190 Billion!) impacting Obama's push to #nationalize health care: http://tinyurl.com/n6lr5y
  18. Save a Life; Get a Wife - all in a day's work. Great #All-American story: http://tr.im/wMCb
  19. If the average #American has to pay #taxes, so should those with secret Swiss bank accounts. Soon they will have to! : http://tr.im/wLje
