Claptrap balderdash

How truly disconnected from reality can our Dear Leader be when it is reported today “President Barack Obama said on Friday the gain of 431,000 jobs in May is a sign the economy is getting stronger, although there will still be ups and downs going forward.”

Of that 431,000, 411,000 are government jobs, and temporary ones at that. I guess he thinks we dumb unwashed drones without law degrees can be endlessly fooled. As a result of his optimistic pronouncement, the stock market took a dump. At least Wall Street isn’t buying his flapdoodlish codswallopy bushwa bunkum. Nor am I.

(I see that the price of Purina Gopher Chow has fallen as a result of the new employment figures. The hamster up there at the right eats gopher chow, the green stuff. My budget allows for much more gopher food now, so feed, feed, feed to your heart’s content! And thanks for your continued support.)

That's nice about how the gopher is doing. How about the fish?

What are all those new government workers going to do? Regulate gopher food production?

The gopher thanks you. As for the temp jobs, they’re mostly census takers. Oh, by the way, Dear Leader has moved the Census Bureau into the White House so he can keep an eye on them.

The fish are also doing fine. Since the oil leak in the Caribbean has reduced the farmed fish population, fish food is also being sold cheap. I have cornered part of the fish food market, so feed, feed, feed!
