But you predicted that the Blacks, not Whites, will go fishing on election day. The reverse happened. And your reverend  friend SmF also predicted that the pastors will advise their congregants not to vote for Barack. You both failed miserably in your predictions. As I said earlier during the Chicago mayoral elections, we ignored ALL the pastors and voted for Rahm Emanuel who won all the Black wards.  Again, we wanted someone who is on Barack’s side and that person was Rahm Emanuel.  On a few occasions he turned out to be a disappointment but at least he is our own ‘disappointment’  than the alternatives.  In elections we are always presented with alternatives. For some of us sitting home is a bad option if the alternatives are aweful.

 

Bangura and Rev SmF are poor judges character and must be ignored.

Indeed, Most Honorable and Revered Citizen Rev. SmF, you are right on the proverbial money. But as Public Choice theorists know so well, even those of us who did not vote for them will get the 'public bads.' It also helps to explain why the majority of white voters decided to go fishing on election day.

 

Learned Professor,

 

If there is any good side to these jobless claims it is that they are coming from states which handed the election over to Obama.  They also affect the people who overwhelmingly voted for the president - union households, young college grads, single women and racial minorities.  As I have said before, in a democracy (-crazy). people deserve the government they elect.  Wish them well.

Jobless Claims Over 400k For Second Week

 

by John Nolte 21 Nov 2012, 6:22 AM PDT 41 post a comment

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistic, for the second week in a row, over 400,000 new jobless claims were filed across the country. Last week the number was 451k, this week it's 410k, and as we saw last week, most of the blame is falling on Hurricane Sandy.

Last week the Hurricane Sandy excuse made little sense as most of the new jobless claims came from Ohio and Pennsylvania due to layoffs in the manufacturing, construction, and auto industries. Had these layoffs been due to the hurricane, why weren't there more layoffs in those same states and industries this week?

Furthermore, these states weren't hit anywhere near as hard as the two states that saw the biggest increase in jobless claims this week: New Jersey and New York.

Coming in third was California, which saw an increase of nearly 25k new claims due to layoffs in the service industry due to Hurricane Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown.

Overall, forty states saw an increase in claims.
