News Round-up for Thursday
Thursday, November 12th, 2009 at 9:32 am by pylornsThere is so much news out there that I’d like to bring to your attention today.
1. Obama goes on with his indecision on the war to do nothing and hope it goes away. By telling commanders that none of the options presented to him work.
2. Lou Dobbs (one of the few independent and non-liberal voices at CNN) is leaving CNN to pursue other options.
3. Remember when they said they were not going to raise taxes on middle class? Yeah scratch that, they were only kidding.
4. Jobless claims lower than expected. That’s the best spin they can do that Americans are still loosing jobs and unemployment is still growing even during the Christmas hiring season.
5. “Saved” 650,000 jobs. 647,500 jobs. Sprint to can 2500 employees because of low subscriber rates. Here’s a nifty idea – don’t be asshats to your customers. You could also see about allowing jail broken iphones on your systems (but that might take a technology shift). But people with AT&T are jumping at the chance to leave the expensive contracts.
6. In happier, trying to get you to spend money news – Target is announcing an insane black friday sale with 32″ HDTV for 246 bucks and $3 toasters. Really it’s just a toaster that you can burn your dollars for heat since the government is printing them enough to be kindle for fire.
7. And talking about currency. Apparently the world is running out of gold. Expect the price of gold to continue to climb.
8. “Saved” 647,500 jobs. 647,420 jobs. Al Gore’s Current Media company is cutting 80 jobs. See even global warming couldn’t save ole’ Al.
9. Atlas Shrugged to come to the big screen? Who is John Galt? But seriously Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are the ones behind the picture? Wow.
10. And lastly Obama hates the jews. Ok maybe not, but he’s standing more with anti-Israel than he is pro-Israel when it comes to the west-bank settlements.
