If only you had the capacity to really understand the stuff you "cut and paste" you could have elaborated , and made some good points. There are some really (laugh rather than cry)elements of this that have real world application. Start with the fact that being "unemployed" but putting in apps vs being unemployed and not looking (on paper) are tallied differently in the process of calculating the "stats". Oh well...what the hell do I know. I'm a "moron"!! Go fingy! ppfffttt!

Well its better than your wifff ,ding dong bang gee wiff ppffttt comments you are knowen for chaos.I know you use 100% of your cpu power to come up with those comments I nassure you I understand what I post its you and malice who are uncapable of understanding anything.And yes Im in 100% agreement with you that you are a moron.I doubt few will stand up to challange that.

By the way I assumed in the above form you could understand it, seems I was right.I posted similar info before but all I got was its not true Obama is God its all bush's fault
seems you were able to understand it this time.not surprised when most of your post chaos have words like whiff,ding, dingis, splat, ye ha and other such words.

I, and others, have repeatedly pointed out the fact that I have never endorsed Obama. I've said that I think he's a better choice than mitt. That's not saying much! And, at worst my humor could be considered silly. What have you to say in defense of your filthy sex toy ,masturbation and gratuitous up the a$$ insults/jokes? Hmm?
