You know, unemployment would be a lot lower if all you people would just stop looking for work.
U.S. Unemployment Rate Hits 10.2%, Highest in 26 Years
The American unemployment rate surged to 10.2 percent in October, its highest level in 26 years, as the economy lost another 190,000 jobs, the Labor Department reported Friday.
The unemployment rate is the percentage of Americans who want to work, but who don’t have a job. So if the people who want a job would just please give up already, the unemployment rate would plummet.
And why wouldn’t you? Don’t you trust President Obama to take care of you?
Must be a Republican conspiracy. Via Memeorandum.

My currently favorite quote:
- Luke: The shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.” So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart. The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.
