New layoff filings jump as companies retrench

uh oh

Here we go again

McCain and the Republicans have whined all week about how much coverage Barack Obama gets overseas.

Fine. Let's talk about the economy. And the national debt rung up by Bush for his war. And tax cuts for the upper 1%. And jobs heading overseas. And how gas has tripled in price. And the how cost of food has gone way up.

And let them tell us how we're a nation of whiners.

Obama is returning to the USA. Come on McCain. Come on Republicans. Talk about what 12 years controlling Congress and 8 years of Bush have done for the economy. And why we should elect McCain.

This should be good...

On the other hand, AOL led its National News section this morning with the lead story that Brittany Spears wowed them yesterday evening with her new hairstyle at some sort of Hollywood event or another.
This coming just a few days after a family court judged gave Brittany's former husband, Kevin Federline, permanent custody of their two children, effectively saying that Brittany is an unfit mother.
Lets stay focused on the important stuff,guys, like Brittany.

God bless Bushonomics. If the Chinese government can spend an unprecedented 40 billion dollars to prepare for the Olympics, we can spend that every three months in Iraq while cutting taxes at the same time. Four more years!

I'm praying for $15/gallon gas prices. Let the low-buck Bush voters feel the pain of their poor choice.

...but Bush says the economy is strong.....

Sell tickets, anyone ...?

Republican voters who earn their money through their labor, as opposed to those sitting by the poolside, waiting for the dividend check, remind me of those bloody-faced, toothless chicks on COPS, who say things like, "he didn't MEAN to hit me, Offither, he's a really good man,'cept when he drinks..."

Thai is invading Cambodia.

It was surpising to the western and European countries when a developed country, Thai, has sent hundread military to Prehvihia, Cambodia. Westerns and Europeans were confusing what Thai want to do. American government, country is closed relationship to Thai was very disappointed about Thai action. Europ and West counted Thai as Rich country--culture, people, Politic,and Economy which represented Southeast Asia. We really disappointed about Thai action,and we want to let Thais know we cannot support this invader. We hope that Thai is till our good friend to the west and Europe, not invader or intruder.

Just another load of corporate America bullshit so they can transfer jobs overseas and pay some friggin pino, paki, or indian 5 bucks an hour. yet all the execs keep there jobs, make millions and put the low guy/gal on the totem pole out of work. Let the japs and chins buy our banks and the arabs run our country cause they got all the oil money now

One would think that a president with a working set of balls would recognize there are some serious problems going on here. Would it kill him to say to many of these companies "hey, look, the government will give you X-amount of a tax break if you hang on to your employees and keep them working. We'll give you outsourcers a tax break if you bring jobs back to Americans. "

Seems like such a simple thing. I guess that's why they reserve the job of President for those who are so smart that simple solutions just pass them by.
