YET THE GOP RAN ON IMMIGRANTS STEALING JOBS:

(Ron Scherer, 12/11/06, The Christian Science Monitor)

[A]s a whole, it appears to be avoiding dire predictions of a sharp rise in unemployment and a loss of business confidence. In fact, when the Federal Reserve meets Tuesday, the central bankers - who aren't expected to change interest rates - are more likely to be talking about the economy's resilience than any future recession.

One sign of the life left in the economy came Friday when the Labor Department reported the creation of 132,000 new jobs in November. It also revised upward - by 42,000 jobs - its reports for September and October.

Now, now, OJ. Don't confuse Bruno for the Republican party. Yes, Bruno and other spoilers kept fighting after they lost at the primaries, but Bush, the actual head of the party, was on the right side. I don't know why some "Republicans" burn to be stormtroopers for vile, racist laws.......

I wonder when the last time was that the jobs number had to be revised downwards? 1994? 1990? 1982?
