Not sayin' yours do. (Sit around and whine, that is.) I can't. 'Cuz I don't know any of them.

I'm just sayin'.

I suppose, a few years from now, if unemployment is back down to 4-5% that it will still be because "millions have stopped looking"?......Unless, of course, the Republicans regain the Whitehouse and the congress. Then we'll get handed an entirely different "reason".

Because someone has "quit looking" doesn't mean they are still unemployed?

Well I guess I am now in demand, 'cause I just heard the Talking Heads saying the "new" language is "Code". If you want to get a job your resume must state that you know "Code". What they mean is that you must be able to program computers. Now that is all fine and dandy but which "Code" - Fortran? COBOL? C? BAL? BASIC? PL/1?

They announced this like it was the greatest discovery since the wheel, but they really did not know what in hell they were talking about.

They even said a company put out a wanted ad but it was all written in "Code" so only programmers could read it.

"Studies reveal that showing up for an interview sober and fully clothed, increases your chances of getting hired!"

Could be. I've never met your dog.

My dog is just very old. She sleeps through everything.

Of course it isn't. Obama, being the communist he is, is intentionally breaking us so he can lead the new United Soviet States of America.

Ranks right up there with businesses not making as much green as they can, to defeat him?

Anyway I was told that by a customer, a rabid tea partier - and he really believes it!
