New jobs report out today. 175,000 new jobs had been expected in March. 98,000 new jobs actually created in March.
I believe it was PP (Passionate Prune) who was recently crowing about the great economy under Trump, even though the current economy is largely still attributable to the Obama administration. Interesting that Prune is silent on this jobs report.
News isn't all bad. Wages are ticking up slightly and unemployment is dropping.
On behalf of our friend Vger who must have suffered a catastrophic sleep in…
Trump really really stinks. I'm sure he/she would advise us to all stay upwind.
California investing in its future.
Colorado? Fuhgedabboudit. Plus, the rich will just move to where the nice stuff is.
I'm sure California would welcome you. Need any help loading the moving van?
Coloradans will likely be able to vote in November for a sales tax increase with the proceeds dedicated to transportation spending.
Follow HB 1242 for details.
Talk about mixed feelings. Our one car one vote obsession is the major driver behind global warming. I'm sure it includes some token cash for transit, but there is a case to be made for letting gridlock drive people to rail and bus rapid transit.

My first thought is that this is the West. The stagecoach was a hot new thing here when they probably, at least, had streetcars in some of the larger cities back East.Ergo,
“one man one horse” evolved to a one man one car bias.
Perhaps is is a psycho/sociological regional bias.
Just a SWAG
Peace
V'ger, if it makes you feel any better, I plan to go to the Auto Show downtown tomorrow by taking the light rail ($5.20 for an all day local pass).
I love the auto show and have loved cars all my life. But I Don't like driving! Cars and, especially, trucks are rolling art, things ofvwonder and beauty. Driving, in urban traffic, is a pain in the neck. My own vehicle is an 87 Ford F250 diesel that I brought in from the farm when my dad died.
We bought near the A line so it's just a short walk to the station. I want to see what might be my last self-driven car 🙂
Oh, and I do agree automotive styling is making a strong comeback in the last decade. My favorites eras were the Art Deco 30’s (there’s nothing like a Deusy), the mid and late ’50’s, and the mid to late ’60’s. Then came a 40 year drought in styling especially with Ford and GM.
I like my Infiniti a lot — wicked looking but even with 300 bhp gets 27mpg on the highway 🙂
All time best styling, Duesenberg or Cord.
Next MGTD
Finally, the. Route 66 Corvette
In heaven, I will own all three. If I go to Hell, much more likely, I will drive an East German car, like the Trabant.
Or an old style Soviet era Lada, or maybe a Yugo.
Oh, but the plastic-bodied Trabant had a two-stroke engine that was good for 50 miles… (before it rolled over and died)
I'm sure Moldy, PP and ACHole each have earned enough Putin Points trolling this site to afford this:
agreed! but don't forget the third member of that glorious Triumvirate — Auburn:
Don't you mean a doozy, Davie? that's where that word came from, you know
I thought so too until I found this:
I've seen the same claim. The car's popularity may well have popularized the term. Somehow, "It's a Fordy" doesn't make the cut!
But wait, if Cali fixes the roads that means more people will be driving leading to more global warming.
Cali has proposed regulations to curtail cow farts (identified as contributors to global warming), so maybe there's a trade off here.
California dairy and feed lots will attain the methane reduction goals primarily by better managing manure–principally by capturing the methane produced and using it as fuel.
Further, the regulatory process won't start until 2018 and probably won't go into effect until 2024.
For the record, most bovine methane comes from burps, not farts. Stay upwind, my friends.
Poor Vlad, sad Vlad.
He picked Trump because he knew Trump would be easily manipulated. I don't know why he thought Trump could be easily controlled.
Trump has all the self control of a first grader coming down from a 3 day Halloween sugar high.
Poor, poor Vlad, your bad, there, Vlad. Sad.
SAD!
Donald Trump is trolling Donald Trump on Twitter
Making the id (in "idiot") great again!
And the idiot of the week award goes to Brian Williams, who paraphrased a leonard cohen line to rhapsodize about the U.S. air strike on Syria: "I am guided by the beauty of our weapons."
A better source, William Tecumseh Sherman, said "War is cruelty. You cannot refine it."
Williams should study the battle of Manila Bay. American sailors started cheering as Spanish ships blew up and burned. An American Captain replied: "Don't cheer boys, the poor bastards are dying."
War is sometimes necessary. It is aways tragic. And it is never beautiful.
I generally like Brian, but that was a stupid thing to say. I have thought many times that the people who glorify war have never been in one or lost anyone in one.
Please excuse me preempting your usual post. It was meant in jest and friendship.
Peace
Taken as such. The fact that Trump Stinks is known world wide and the more that truth is spread, the sooner we will mobilize against the stench. Stay upwind my friends.
Has the president commented on the terrorist attack in Sweden, or does he figure it's fictional like the last one he commented on?
R and R,
Seems like not all was well in Sweden as portrayed by the leftist when the Trumpster made his comments on Sweden. The EU is a mess thanks to the open borders crowd. Good thing we have a different geography going for us.
So how come the terrorists ripped us at Bowling Green? And the night they drove old Dixie down? Those are on Trump's watch, Noodlesoup!
