The most important fact to take from the September unemployment report released last week is that almost three years after the recession began the economy was still losing jobs! Almost 100,000 (95,000) additional jobs were lost last month from the economy overall. That makes 400,000 jobs lost since May. Moreover, in a regular annual benchmark revision to calibrate unemployment rates for updated data, the BLS reported a further 366,000 jobs lost for March. The total number of Americans unemployed stands at almost 15 million (14.8).

In addition, the […]

“Mr. Emanuel praised Mr. Obama as “the toughest leader any country could ask for in the toughest times any president has faced.” He fought back tears as he thanked his wife and three children, seated in the front row of the East Room for the farewell ceremony.”

That’s how the New York Times described Rahm Emanuel’s leave-taking as President Obama’s Chief of Staff. We all say nice things on such occasions. I have no idea whether Rahm Emanuel’s departure was his own […]

When I was in college, a professor from the Middle East was giving me advice in his office.

He said, “My son (he fancied himself a mentor), truth comes in three colors: blonde, brunette and redhead.” At the time, I was unmarried, and it seemed to make sense, although I was leery because of his reputation as a skirt-chaser. I wanted to get married, not start a harem.

Will Christine, the repentant “witch,” or Chris, the unrepentant “Marxist,” win the U.S. Senate race in Delaware?

Political pundits and TV talkers are fixated on Christine O’Donnell’s admission that she “dabbled into witchcraft” very briefly as a teenager. Whereas Chris Coons, O’Donnell’s Democratic opponent, is a self-described Marxist, Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid’s “pet,” and a former “volunteer for liberation theology” in South Africa, according to Jeff Lord’s outstanding column on American Spectator.

The leftist cabal is mute about Coons’ Marxist meandering […]
