- Polls indicated yesterday that the presidential race was tightening up and all the Right Wingers who last week were saying the polls were wrong suddenly were embracing them.
- The former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader, who comes in second place behind Debra Lafave as the greatest "And Another", pled guilty yesterday but will avoid prison.
- A skydiver is attempting to break the sound barrier this morning. I fear for his life.
- Gruesome: The aftermath of a car wreck in Dallas, which included flames, was caught on tape. The video was played on Fox 4 last night with the story being the slow response time of the fire department (9 minutes.) First, nine minutes seems pretty quick. Secondly, they were given the wrong address.
- How in the world did Texas Tech start out as only a four point underdog to West Virginia?
- If you turned on sports radio yesterday, it was all Josh Hamilton talk all the time.
- Mrs. LL recorded Access Hollywood yesterday because Courtney Stodden was on it promoting something called Couples Therapy. But I haven't watched it yet.
- I don't know who CM Punk is and I couldn't find RAW on my television if I had to, but Mr. Punk slugged a fan on that show right now.
- Now there's a pet turtle in the house.
- The killer of that Arlington pastor sounds like one bad, bad guy. (And I realized yesterday he was part of a sad Dallas Observer cover story about another man who died in the Tarrant County Jail.)

Barry.....the pollsters are STILL over sampling Democrats in these polls. The fact that Obama is now losing in spite of that fact should be horrendous news to all liberals.
Expect a Romney blowout next month!

"Polls indicated yesterday that the presidential race was tightening up and all the Right Wingers who last week were saying the polls were wrong suddenly were embracing them."
They have the exact same approach to the unemployment numbers. When they were up, the Right says they show how bad things are and how Obama is destroying the economy...when they were down, it's some Lefty conspiracy to make things look better than they actually are.
If the data doesn't fit the narrative, the Right just ignores the data.
RTG: OMG!!! Smokin' HOTT and slutty, thanks BG, it just does not get any better than that!
The mother of the Bengal Cheerleader also accepted a guilty plea for tampering with physical evidence. Greeeeeaaat Family! And once again cell phone texting started the whole process of forbidden passion. Seems like ATT & Sprint should incorporate that into advertising to open a whole new market.

I agree with you about taking the polls too seriously. Still, as I've said before, Republicans are giddy at any kind of good news in the media. The polls may become more accurate as election day approaches, because pollsters don't want to embarrass themselves too badly, but the only poll that matters is the one on November 6.
My prediction: The media will report that Obama dominates Romney in the next debate, and the polls will surge back into Obama's favor.
Pet turtles can cause samonella.
I haven't seen a girl like that since Craigslist quit posting "those kind of ads". She must be archived footage.
Nice
I still do not believe Sanduski is guilty and I don't care what anyone says about it That man is not guilty of those acts.
A woman's intuition is always right.

NOT GOOD
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has doubts about the Sandusky case. Seriously, there are more than a couple of things that either don't add up, or don't make any sense at all.
You can't really engage in a rational conversation with anyone because you once you utter the magic words, it's not a rush to judgement so much as it a lynch mob in action.
Hey 9:37 / 9:47,
Ya'll car pooling to the NAMBLA
meeting?
9:37, Yeah like when Ms. Sandusky's intuition was right on when she thought it best to look the other way as her husband was playing "tickle monster", giving massages and kissing the stomachs of young boys in their home. You gals and your intuition, I gotta give it to ya, you all never miss out on a chance to tell us how you feel about something.
I always rely on my wife's intuition ever time I make a big decision. Never mind reading those stock analaysts reports before investing, or hiring a home inspector before buying a house...just trust the ol' lady's gut, it will never get you in trouble.
Really!!!!! All the right wingers I have seen are still a little skeptic about the polls and why shouldn't they be no body in their RIGHT MIND!!!! could vote for President Obama another term.
9:47, That is because it is irrational to think this guy could be innocent. I agree that in a legal sense this case was not perfect, and there was no smoking penis, but the mountain of other evidence and shear number of victims speaks volumes.
Point is, if our legal system screwed the pooch on this one I am completely ok with the collateral damage. I prefer to err on the side of protecting children and not one ol' creepy bastard. I still think they need to go after the wife as well.
@10:15 - is the meeting still at your house?
You know, Bacon, I know you like 'em built for comfort and all, but every once in a while you should try the ones built for speed. She may not be your favorite type, but you have truly misjudged this poor young woman. The big girls aren't as bendy as this girl is, I can tell.

Wordkyle is back to hedging. I love it when he does that.

859 - tsk, tsk. You misrepresent what the Right says, then base your argument on your own misrepresentation. About the employment numbers: The consistent message all along has been "Actual unemployment is higher than the official figures the government reports." The "data" behind that statement, and why the situation under Obama is both worse and under-reported, have been discussed many times.
Hasty generalizations that right wingers are now embracing current polls is asinine. You have done no research to ascertain that. But when you do, I know a plethora of conservatives that embrace no polls for their data is not reliable and for the most part useless as far as elections are concerned.
I think the Bacon scale needs calibrating again. That pose alone - or even the silhouette formed from the pose - is worth more than what was assigned.
You betta reckanize!
Wordy, apparently Fox News didn't get your memo on the "consistent" thing.

Thanks for attempting to alter the facts to cover their/your stupidity. I don't care if you decide to distrust the source, but if you're "consistent" you distrust it when it helps your argument as well as when it hurts your argument.
BTW, I've read your ongoing silliness about people out of the workforce being not counted. That would be important, but for the fact that those people have ALWAYS been excluded from the numbers. They are NEVER used in the calculations for unemployment. No difference. No change. Move along.
Is that randy girl Veronika Simon? She is HOT!
You don't know who CM Punk is? Did you grow up watching ballet instead of WWE, etc.
Old and busted: THE POLLS ARE A LIE!

"Thanks for attempting to alter the facts to cover their/your stupidity. I don't care if you decide to distrust the source, but if you're "consistent" you distrust it when it helps your argument as well as when it hurts your argument."
The fact is, the polls are STILL LOW. Each is supposed to be an accurate snapshot in time. They are not accurate, at this point in time.
>BTW, I've read your ongoing silliness about people out of the workforce being not counted. That would be important, but for the fact that those people have ALWAYS been excluded from the numbers.<
What possible difference could it make. This is about misery! People out of work, whether they are counted or not.
By your stance, you could have one person working in the US (say his initials are BO), and if nobody else was counted, you would have a 0% unemployment rate. SO WHAT! The rest of us would be fairly pissed.
"They are NEVER used in the calculations for unemployment. No difference. No change. Move along."
OK chuckles...let's see if you can understand it this way...We are looking at a DIFFERENT type of rate. K? This unemployment rate takes into account...ALL of the folks not working, or underworking. K?
Geez, libs are such dumbasses.
I wonder where she dances.
1217 - You may or may not have read my posts about the labor participation rate, but you apparently didn't understand them. Look at one of the links I've provided to the Bureau of Labor Statistics to see what you call "No difference, No change" looks like. (Oh, okay, here, I'll do it for you.)
As for your link to the Daily Show, it appears that "Actual unemployment is higher than the government reports" is pretty much the message behind all the statements Jon Stewart made fun of.
As for distrust of September's numbers, here's my reasoning as to why a healthy dose of skepticism is called for.
12:17, You are correct that they have never been counted, there is just a shitload more of those people now than there were just a few years ago. We are getting a beginning peek at what the workforce looks like in a socialist society. Way fewer good jobs, lower wages and new jobs are government or focused on low wage, part time and seasonal work. Corporations are being forced to change the way they do business because of regulation and corporate taxes.
Go visit California if you want to see a better representation of the model Obama wishes to set forth. There is essentially no middle class. You have an elite, left leaning aristocracy and poor people. The only true middle class left in that state are mostly farmers and Pelosi and gang are doing their best to drive them out by shutting off their water, and overregulating agriculture.
there is just a shitload more of those people now than there were just a few years ago
Google: Baby Boomers
Hint: They're retiring at record rates.
Do not fall for: WK's claim that they're retiring because they cannot otherwise find a job, it's BS.
Way fewer good jobs,
Thanks to the outsourcing tactics of companies like Bain Capital...
lower wages
Also due to companies like Bain...
new jobs are government
Well that's accurate in some places. Like here in Texas, where Republicans claim the free market is alive and well, Rick Perry's growing government is largely responsible for the increase in the number of jobs. Government is one of the largest growing job sectors right here in the Lone Star State--thanks to Perry.
Rage
Hilarious! If you take wordy's graph, and expand it to include as far back as the Clinton administration, you can see that the decline started during Bush's presidency!
Show me the tax returns!
So you think Sandusky is innocent...Oh yeah, a grown man that showers with children?? What could possibly go wrong...
312 - You'd have a point, except for the fact that the labor force participation rate was stable for several years before Obama took office.
You do raise a good point, however. Take the graph all the way back to 1983 and you see that the economy started booming, with a corresponding rise in the workforce participation, in 1989 -- three years before Clinton took office. No one has ever denied the booming economy of the 90s. The decline you want to blame on Bush was from about 67% to about 66%, a full point. In Obama's 3+ years, it's dropped two full points. The argument could be made that Bush's 6% unemployment was actually higher than Clinton's 6%, and I would agree.
I don't care about Obammy or unemployment :Did you not see the RTG the pose alone is a 10
It is possible that Sandusky could have been wrongfully convicted. Innocent men are thrown into prison all the time in this country.

Rage, Not talking baby boomers here pal, talking recent college grads and people in their prime. I see it everyday in my travels. Nice scripted talking points though, maybe Obama could have used you in his last debate...and I am suprised you didn't toss out the 47% comment on me as well.
Outsourcing under Bain capital was necessary and you know it. Those were fledgling companies who were headed down the tubes, Bain stepped in and found solutions necessary to rescue those companies from ruin. It is called business, sometimes you have to make tough decisions to stay or become succesful....and yes I know they made a nice profit(sorry for the offensive language) in turn.
We should be re-educating our workforce away from low paying manufacturing jobs anyway. Haven't seen anything out of Obama on that one.
948 - Nicely stated. The baby boomer retirement surge was anticipated by the Labor Department. (Reminder: Last month's number was 63.6%) In 2005 they issued a report projecting the labor force participation rate up to 2014. They showed the rate declining gradually to 65.6% in 2014 (Table 5.) In 2006 they issued a more indepth report up to the year 2050. Here's what they said:
(Table 3)
2010 - 65.9%
2020 - 64.5%
2030 - 61.7%
2040 - 60.8%
2050 - 60.4%
So Obama appears to be about fifteen years ahead of schedule.
12:17 It's kinda ironic that the comedy channel seems to be the spokes channel for the Presedunces party.
