It looks like Santa brought Christmas cheer in December.

A Labor Department report Thursday provided some cause for optimism: Claims for unemployment aid barely rose last week after falling in the previous week to the lowest point since July 2008. And the four-week average of claims fell for the 18th straight week to 450,250. That figure has reached its lowest level since September 2008, when the financial crisis intensified with the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

A gain in jobs for December could improve consumer confidence and spur greater spending, fueling the economic recovery.

Many analysts predict the economy grew by up to 4 percent at an annual rate in the October-December quarter. Federal Reserve officials and private economists worry that much of the recovery stems from temporary factors, such as government stimulus efforts and businesses rebuilding inventories.

Worry? Why Worry?

I get it now. I can understand what some hardcore republicans felt in 2004 when met with the challenge of how to support a failed President, if not for a positive agenda, then as a defense against what worse may come from the opposite party (in their perception).... And so does Dr. Dean.

HOWARD DEAN: Look, here's the thing: every politician says this and I hesitate to do it because they all say it, but sometimes the country's more important than either party.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Amen.

DEAN: I'm going to support President Obama when he runs for re-election. Not vigorously. I'm going to vote for him.

Scarborough can be heard bursting into laughter off-camera.

DEAN: I am, I am.

SCARBOROUGH: "Not vigorously." Boy, I can almost feel the confetti [presumably from GOP victory celebrations] falling on my head here!

- Gate has now been supplanted with "-ers" which tailors the political discourse to the laughably fringe who are them maligned and hopefully kept in the minority. It's a democratic tool, in now our vernacular, which I picked upon the connections via Glenn Beck on Fox. Monitoring his drabble, he had a point...

Tea Bagg-ers = Referring to the era in which common republicans collectively went Redneck and lost their fucking minds over founding fathers, obama marxism conspiracy theories, faux-constitutional loyalty and general small minded ness. The radical hard right that went on to stormtroop the common August Town Halls, subsequently blown up by the MSM.

Birth-ers = Devolved political radicals who question the legitimacy of the Barack Obama Hawaii Birth Certificate with emphasis on African Birth and other Racial whistles

Death-ers = Policial bomb throwers who resort to policial terrorism with the masses by carefully planting seeds of extreme fear and doubt amongst the otherwise sane minded middle america public and do so at risk of every having a political career again. Good news is either may run against Obama in 2012: Palin & Newt

It's "who cares" Monday afternoon, after all, the economy is so obviously surging again, with Oil shooting up 33% this month, and the market acting like a coke addict on the loose in Columbia, all good news all the time means the more important things can take your attention this afternoon, like the winner of the new Space Station room naming contest...

Looks like they saved room for the Eagle.

ASA’s online contest to name a new room at the international space station went awry. Comedian Stephen Colbert won.

The name “Colbert” beat out NASA’s four suggested options in the space agency’s effort to have the public help name the addition. The new room will be launched later this year.

NASA’s mistake was allowing write-ins. Colbert urged viewers of his Comedy Central show, “The Colbert Report” to write in his name. And they complied, with 230,539 votes. That clobbered Serenity, one of the NASA choices, by more than 40,000 votes. Nearly 1.2 million votes were cast by the time the contest ended Friday.

I don't get it, I really don't. What gives Frank Rich and many others on this site standing to jump the shark after only 60 days and declare the President, the treasury managers and the policies coming out failures, Katrina Moments, and various other hard to comprehend impatient prejudging ramblings...

Math can tell you how a plane will fly, because it's a machine.

Math cannot tell you how an economy will respond, because it's a human system, motivated by greed and reward.

Right now, where we stand today, everyone is wrong and no one is right. The future is what we will make it. So far, we know this much:

Our Democracy gave us choices, and we went as a people down one road.

Management, it's effects, and the results of the Obama "Change" will take months and years to be seen.

President Obama appears to be entirely in control and in touch.

You know what Coach K? Shut up and get back to the chalk board... Nothing qualifies you to make this ~~statement~~ Drudge Fodder...

"Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said from the Blue Devils' first-round site in Greensboro, N.C.

Let me break it down for you really quickly... I understand you've been busy and all with the season, but in all honestly, you can just shut your fucking pie hole right now Coach K. You, Sir, are very misinformed.

Americablog brings to light a very disturbing finding by researchers in the food safety industry.

There is Mercury in the High Fructose Corn Syrup sold across the USA

The FDA was notified

The FDA didn't do anything about it....

Only 90% of High Fructose Corn Syrup made today in the USA is Mercury Free...

In one study, published in the journal Environmental Health, former Food and Drug Administration scientist Renee Dufault and colleagues tested 20 samples of high fructose corn syrup and found detectable mercury in nine of the 20 samples.

Dufault said in a statement that she told the FDA about her findings but the agency did not follow up.

Much more over the jump

This is going to make you smile...

During a morning meeting with congressional leaders from both parties, President Obama acknowledged the philosophical differences between his stimulus package and the Republican plan – but, sources familiar with the conversation said, Obama then noted: “I won.”

The exchange arose as top House and Senate Republicans expressed concern to the president about the amount of spending in the package. They also raised concerns about a refundable tax credit that returns money to those who don’t pay income taxes, the sources said.

Take That GOP Obstructionists...

But perhaps taking a cue from Obama’s “I won” line when Democrats were asked if they were concerned about Republicans blocking the package, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had a swift one-word answer: “No.”

I never thought I'd see the day when casually I'd read "FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH"

Finally after 8 long torturous years, these three simple words carry a weight and meaning that the whole world understands all as one...

I happened upon these words on "The Page" as Mark Halperin chronicles tomorrow's schedule of events.

9:55 am
Barack and Michelle Obama are greeted by President and Laura Bush as they arrive at the North Portico of the White House

then

10:05 am
Barack and Michelle Obama have coffee with the Bushes, Bidens and the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies Leadership in the Blue Room of the White House

It's tough out there, However, America dodged a massive bullet in voting down Gov. Sarah Palin... In less than a week, we inaugurate Barack Obama and avoid the deep thoughts such as this

"Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me....I'll tell you, yesterday the Anchorage Daily News, they called again to ask — double-, triple-, quadruple-check — who is Trig's real mom. And I said, Come on, are you kidding me? We're gonna answer this? Do you not believe me or my doctor? And they said, No, it's been quite cryptic the way that my son's birth has been discussed. And I thought, Okay, more indication of continued problems in the world of journalism."

and

"You have to let it go. Even hard news sources, credible news sources — the comment about, you can see Russia from Alaska. You can! You can see Russia from Alaska. Something like that — a factual statement that was taken out of context and mocked — what you have to do is let that go."
