Will you join me in the garden?

neighbor, let me welcome es tu le jardin, home to the sweat of my brow. the rows of the garden stretch out in front and behind us, much as the muscles my ancestors used while they labored diligently with blood and toil to provide us a fertile bed for the seed of ideas to be sown, all the while in prayer and supplication. these ideas once planted in the spring of our nation, by people of passion did require much care with mulch and hoe, to prevent those unwanted tares from overtaking the tiny young crop. as time and experience turned our field, walled in stone, from brown to green to red, the preparations they had made for those predatory creatures, who entered the field in darkness, to root and glut on the tender young shoots, were not successful. much of the crop and oh so many of the laborers fell first on the left, then the right and even the fence with all of it's picketts was lost. the field and its crop, much smaller now, was surrounded by great cities, filled with the busy minded, who care not for the garden, as it required more labor than was convenient. as the march of the seasons continued the summer encompassed the whole world, where the heat oppressed our passions, and many more died in the fields, and we were dependent upon the reign of keyngs to nourish that which had been planted. our grandfathers unknowingly used tools marred with marx and rust to weed the rows and it caused some of the crop to be hybridized. through patience and faithfulness we have continued on with our struggle until the leaves of fall now have adjusted their hue in preparation of colder days. the end, so very near, i will gather my gloves, pull up my boots, and sharpen my tools, for the harvest is almost at hand. i cannot offer you much more than sore muscles, and little sleep, but if you will join me, we will harvest the sweet fruit of freedom, and offer it to those who desire it.

jobless rate drops in december, really?

"A.P. The nation's economy added 103,000 jobs in December and the unemployment rate dropped to 9.4 percent last month, its lowest level in 19 months.
But the job growth fell short of expectations based on a strengthening economy. And the drop in unemployment was mainly because people stopped looking for work".

Where do i start, this is more state run media ridiculousness. first of all historically the hiring for the last three months of the year has always increased, with seasonal (i believe they mean "CHRIST"mas demand) factors being the primary engine of growth. To trumpet these numbers as an example of real economic recovery is, oh yes i have already given commentary, on this, let us continue.

In 2007 for instance the economy added more than 700,000 jobs in oct, nov, dec. As i see it the state run media has just reinforced the idea that they are complicit with the current administration. I am no economist, but i recall well that our current economic catastrophe was initiated by $5/gallon gasoline. has anyone noticed it above $3 dollars here in the Republic of  Texas? I make an observation, some may call it a prediction, but when the numbers come out for this jan, feb we will see a loss of seasonal (there is that word again) jobs. just my dos pesos. happy new year, all.
