"The blizzards that affected much of the country during the last month are likely to distort the statistics. So it's going to be very important ... to look past whatever the next figures are to gauge the underlying trends," Summers said in an interview with CNBC, according to a transcript.

Hey, how far can this plane fly on one engine?

Straight to the scene of the crash.

So, you deny that weather influences unemployment?

Quaint, really, but also pathetic.

It's nice to see everyone getting along so well

Lamont is a hell of a piss taker, to be sure.

Man, last summer global warming made things so hot...well, it was too hot to work.

Last spring, it was too rainy to work.

Last fall...all those falling leaves made it so people couldn't work.

I cannot work out if the constant "the sky is falling" message that those who joined the Republican Party's online activist campaign a couple of years ago and have now become tea baggers and Palintologists have been told to disseminate is funnier in itself then the obvious lack of understanding of the world that it shows up.
Could you manage to mention that the USA used to be a great place... even if you may be unsure exactly when that was?
If you need to have the standard fluctuations of unemployment explained to you then please ask.
I'm always ready and willing to help out...

That was quite funny!
You have to be careful though, it's a clich

Mail: "Hey boss! I am sorry but there's 8 inches of snow outside so I cannot come to work today. Regards your faithful employee"

Hey boss! Surf's up, see you when the seas are flat.

Oh, sorry is it that no one who isn't American should comment on America?
OK, that little thing has been circulating for a few weeks now.
Well, as the OP was about unemployment, should I assume you have been laid off because you are commenting?
Or should I assume you are a presidential advisor as you are commenting?
Or just what were you talking about?

Oh my, things are getting lively around here aren't they.

It always make me chuckle how much right wing Americans go on about their rugged individualism when the only options they seem to have are what they are sold!
The ability for people to do things for themselves as a group is somehow so alien to the spirit of the far right that they have to huddle behind the world's biggest army to protect them!

Ah, yes, the right wing, for whom their gun is mightier than their spouse.
