PASWO: Rush Limbaugh remains a big, fat idiot...

[elfs]

Man, you have to admire this comment from Rush Limbaugh, addressing a comment by President Obama:

This is what this regime does. This regime tries to tell us how we are feeling. "This month more Americans woke up, got dressed, and headed to work in an office or factory or storefront?" "Storefront?" "Factory?" These are all Marxist and Leninist terms. So is "worker."

Wow, I guess in Limbaugh's world the only real producers in our economy are "owner", "investor" and "at-will employee."

Limbaugh is right about 'storefront' and 'factory'. But I think he's premature on 'regime.'


...just...wow...



And they're still compiling bankruptcy filings for Q1. If you meant last years, here are the numbers. (http://www.abiworld.org/AM/AMTemplate.cfm?Section=Home&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=60226) Not surprisingly, they tend to correlate to these numbers.

Yes, non-business bankruptcy filings would be a clearer indicator of national unemployment. Filings are a definite figure that's hard to tweak; 'unemployed' gets tweaked a lot.
