First-time unemployment claims for the first full week of February were
at 363,000, more than the 345,000 expected by Wall Street and 6,000
higher than the previous week.

As Paul Harvey says..."and now, for the rest of the story":

Other numbers suggested a mild improvement in the jobs market. The number of
workers drawing unemployment benefits for more than a week fell by 23,000 to
a 2.5-year low of not quite 3,100,000.

Nice recovery you got going, Dubya...

With the price of fuel, there will have to be car pools to the polls.

Yeah, the dumphead in the White House didn't bother to push for an
extension of unemployment benefits.

Well, guys, our armed forces have a few openings. I'd think a good many of our
unemployed could get employed right quick if they want. Of course, as always,
a HS diploma is always useful. Lack of an arrest record helps, too. Oops, how
about that constant random drug testing? The pay is not exactly handsome but
there is a hell of a good benefit package.

The downside is the danger, of course. Constant difficult training is not
always fun. The family separation problems is very difficult to cope with.

But, it's a great life for those who want to serve and do meaningful things and
have one hell of a good time earning decent pay after a couple of years.

Indeed, the military is the employer of last resort...but you have to
want to go out and do really stupid things if ordered to do so by an
incompetent like Dubya. And you might get killed in the process.

You might end up doing something meaningful. Maybe.

Geez...it was a $1.62 in June, 2000. You're gonna whine about a three cent
increase in 4 years?

Are you kidding? You know that they know without low fuel prices the US=20

If the Saudis help us get rid of Dubya by keeping fuel prices high while=20

I'd consider it a good investment in my total cost of life.

Not to mention letting the US lumber lobby push Canada around for trying to
sell Americans reasonable priced lumber.
