243,000 net new January jobs (i.e. Jobs added in Jan MINUS Jobs lost in Jan) is really bigger than 243,000. WHY?
1) Private Sector was 257,000
2) 60,000 Jobs added in Revisions (Dec & Nov)
3) Each yr in Feb BureauLaborStats does annual revisions — surprise even more jobs
If Obama were white, stats say he has just been re-Elected

Morning all. In a hurry this morning, can’t stay. Heard on Pacifica radio this am about Republican connections of Komen Foundation officials, internal memo about one high level staffer saying she is against abortion, ie, conscious political policy against PP.
I was chided by one HolyCity2012 last week for posting too much. Haven’t seen HC complain about anyone else (or did I miss it)? I suspect HC didn’t like what I was saying that day. TS, HC, and eat my shorts. I’m off disability after one more week (back to my wage slave job doing hiv research, fyi HC) but until then, I’ll post here as much as I like, same as everyone else. Hostile ad hominems instead of honest disagreement, it’s so in fashion now, filtered in from the Ayn Randians.
Got a physical therapy appt., gotta go. Have a great weekend all. OMG no Eddie Pepitone today??

Thank you Citi. Good to know.

CHRIS ROSEN DENOUNCED ON NATIONWIDE RADIO!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me preface this by saying that I am a BIG CHRIS ROSEN fan. He’s such an anti-intellectual lazy couch potato, I enjoy the way he parades his ignorance, as Palin parades hers. I also LOVE the way you guys torture Rosen, so I just want to give you some Rosen torture fodder.
Rosen article was denounced on NATIONAL RADIO. Chris Rosen’s article was trashed by Nick Digilio on WGN Radio in Chicago. Rosen wrote an article defending Katherine Heigl. http://news.moviefone.com/christopher-rosen/katherine-heigl-defense_b_1240133.html?just_reloaded=1 Nick Digilio thought that Rosen was a total idiot and vigorously disagreed with him. He didn’t mention Chris by name; he just called him “that idiot who writes for Moviefone.” http://www.wgnradio.com/shows/nickd/wgnam-nickdshow-120204e,0,3381540.mp3file WGN radio can be heard in 38 states, so Rosen was insulted NATIONWIDE.
BTW, Digilio is a genius in his own right; a radio personality, comedian and stage director in Chicago. It wouldn’t be a bad thing if you had Nick D. review movies–if you could get him.
9:50 am
Holy heck, I love Isabel Gillies, she does great movie reviews and the personal stuff is great and humanizing! If she talks too much it’s because she’s nervous. That will go away, and if she is just chatty then more power to her! It’s talk radio! Don’t let that guy komen your show!!
10:08 am
Thought you meant The Band, no not a great name but a great band. They were rural goodness when everything was going crazy, distinctly Canadian smart and important? Scorcese is no slouch, he wouldn’t make a movie about a mere jam band!
