> “Booooyyyyyaaaaaaaaa on the payrolls numbers!!!!!
Which numbers are those?
Yesterday’s report that weekly jobless claims jumped 20,000 to 457,000?
Or today’s headlines that “About 2 million long-term jobless workers could lose eligibility for unemployment-insurance payments by the end of the year due to the expiration of federal funding”?
Boo. Yaa. Whatever.
If the lead is DUE to old plumbing in houses…..damn iPhone.
“Booooyyyyyaaaaaaaaa on the payrolls numbers!!!!!
This is a good sign for the economy!!!!”
Yes- perhaps we should thank the Obama administration?
That article about lead in city water makes no sense. If the lead is die to old plumbing in houses, as they claim, not the environment, then levels cannot be rising.
Re: A Mixed Forecast for the Housing Market [NY Times]
LMAO! A discussion about the housing market without one mention of foreclosuregate (the mortgage origination cover-up scandal).
A thread about a burger joint but none on foreclosuregate. Just pretend it doesn’t exist.
***Bid half off peak comps***
At least the cops didn’t do a four-year “investigation” into the ongoing robberies at Trader Joes.
Love the police quote: “What, do we have to go in every day?”
let the taxis charge whatever they want/can get. Lets have a free-market economy.
if didn’t carry a purse, you couldn’t get it snatched.
Yay for the Brooklyn Heights powertrusion. Been a long time since a pole got erected there to be sure.
