"No, eight years
isn't such a long streak..."
is
a line of dialogue that
typifies what viewers came to expect from
a TV sitcom series about "absolutely nothing".
Perhaps it's not quite as memorable a
line as
"No soup for you!"
or
"yada
yada"
or
"Say Vandelay
Industries!",
but
Jerry Seinfeld's matter-of-fact TMI clarification
..."I
haven't vomited for 13 years..."
perfectly
sums up the kind of subject matter
that
nothingness spawns.

"Are
your veins
popping, Congressman Weiner, or are you just happy to see us?"
|
Now, with absolutely nothing
productive going on in and from the Obama
administration and its Democrat Caucus Congressional
arm, Costanza-esque
blowhard clowns like Anthony Weiner
(D-NY)
have plenty of free time to indulge in the kind of
stuff that might provide surreal comedy for an updated Seinfeld episode. At
least Weiner's dear leader has had enough sense to
fritter away workdays with non-controversial
pastimes like golfing, hoops and vacationing rather
than succumbing to the temptation of interacting
with young social media Kool-Aiders of
the opposite sex.
In
an interview on CNBC last Friday morning, Labor
Secretary Hilda Solis cited a questionable
positive
trend:
"If you look back
on the last four months, we've on average [added] about 200,000 jobs each month....
And if you look at the past 15 months, it's well
over 2.1 million private-sector jobs. We're on the
right path."
Later
that same morning, however, the announcement came
that only 60,000 jobs —
half of
which were added by high-paying McDonalds —
were created in May.
As a result the unemployment rate rose to 9.1%.
It might have been a lot worse if not for the tens
of thousands of job seekers who opt out of the
countable job search pool each month due to
discouragement and/or the opportunity
to make an un-taxed buck. As if the labor
secretary didn't know the bad news before her spin-ful
interview.

If you've
kept up with Seinfeldian Nothingspeak you know
that what Hilda Solis said is akin to George Costanza
shmoozing a desirable woman with the
"I'm an architect"
line
or perhaps like Anthony Weiner providing photo-evidence
that his shorts are just as full of baloney as are the
rest of the administration's shills and
talking heads.
Democrat pollster Stan Greenberg's recent
research, based on

Hilda Solis says:
"Every worker
in America has a right to be paid
fairly,
whether they are documented or not."
|
polling and focus groups, indicates that Americans
are dubious even when the government announces that
200,000+ jobs have been created in any given
month. Prior to the release of Friday’s jobs report, Greenberg said
that disappointing data may
cause Democrats on the ballot in 2012 to want to
“rethink how much you want to link your fate to the
ups and downs of the monthly jobs report.”
"...[There is]
a tremendous distrust of government
and who it’s for. The biggest problem,
frankly, is not a lack of ideas about how to address
the economy, it's skepticism...they
are very skeptical on the jobs numbers,”
Greenberg added.
Even for a renegade scribe on a 35-year
streak, the urge to regurge is difficult to
overcome when confronted with the stomach-sickening
lying and double-standard behavior tolerated and
perpetuated by the
post-Clinton left.
Speaking of Clintonistas, do you
think that Sandy Berger
(a/k/a Sandy Burglar)
would have taken a picture of his shorts stuffed
with those documents he pilfered from the National
Archive in 2003 if he had a camera-equipped smart phone back then?
