The Senate Democrats are going to try to extend unemployment benefits again as if America's workers need the 'dole' instead of an immediate emergency federal job creation program. Today's San Francisco Chronicle:
For years, Duran has been a full-time server at a downtown hotel. But the recession has cut so deeply into business that her hours were cut to half time in July.
"It's better than a layoff, but it still requires a lot of sacrifices," said Duran, who, along with her working husband, supports three sons.
Because she works, Duran doesn't count in California's 12.2 percent unemployment rate.
But her situation is captured by a broader measure, the underemployment rate, which, in addition to the jobless, includes people who could get only part-time work as well as those who want jobs but were too discouraged to look.
The state Employment Development Department estimates that this underemployment rate hit 21.9 percent in September.
That figure includes 1.9 million jobless Californians, 1.4 million people who had to work part time, and 865,000 adults loosely described as discouraged.
"Underemployment is at the highest level since we started keeping these records in 1994," said economist Sylvia Allegretto of the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment at UC Berkeley.
The Employment Development Department, which publishes the state's jobless rate, has not typically calculated underemployment [In Full]
There have been two massive suicide bomb attacks in Baghdad Iraq... Remember Iraq? One went off at the Defense Ministry, the other at the Provincial Affairs building in Downtown, and it looks like there's going to be more of the same, but the burning question is WHO? The Times UK says 'Baathists', but THIS Buffalo see 'invisible hands' at work... From a conversation on Juan Cole's FaceBook page:
Paul: It is definitely a bad omen for troop withdrawal, and seems to run counter to Iraqi nationalist interest. They must know this is counterproductive to ending the occupation. It makes no sense.
You would think that if any of these people had plastic or other military explosives, they would have used them long ago when they had more momentum. The type of explosive could be determined by analyzing the residues. It seems unlikely that the source could be identified, although some manufacturers to put identification tags in them.

Da' Buffalo: Who's claiming responsibility?
"ex-bathiists" according to to the reporter.
Two questions arise in my admittedly paranoid mind....
Is that his OWN analysis derived from an in depth, personal knowledge of the 'players'?
Does this mean there's pressure on for the U.S. NOT TO continue it's (somewhat misnomered') 'withdrawal' to the benefit of certain U.S. political and industrial 'players' as well (like Northrop Grumann and the NeoFassssss... I mean NeoCons...) ?

Da' Buffalo: >> Paul Wolf: "...although some manufacturers to put identification tags in them."
Heh... Heh... ESPECIALLY Western manufacturers, with the good old US of A taking the lead in the trend.
Even our fertilizers are tagged.
IOW, "ROTFLM M/F AO"... I'M waiting for this to happen, but it's not gonna.
I've ALWAYS thought that this type of bombing played into the Pentagons 'hands', and I KNOW about things like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio
...and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
If the CIA considered 'eating it's own' once, what's to stop them from doing it to 'a bunch of ragheads'?
...When it's in the National (energy-economics/geo-regional policy) Interest.

Nadine: regardless of the above ground claims, causes and reasons; it is the forensic material on the ground which holds the key to escalating tension.
did anyone believe that all the paramilitary, construction and industrial NGOs and their peripheral businesses, were going to ride out in the sunset?quietly?
a thorough examination of the stock-holders should lead the ferret straight to underground profiteering; tell us who benefits the most.

Da' Buffalo: Speaking of "Who stands to gain", Paul Craig Roberts:
"According to reports, the US Marines in Afghanistan use 800,000 gallons of gasoline per day. At $400 per gallon, that comes to a $320,000,000 daily fuel bill for the Marines alone. Only a country totally out of control would squander resources in this way."
Source: http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/63407-400gallon-gas-another-cost-of-war-in-afghanistan
Our foreign policy goals are "totally out of control", and personally, I blame 'market capitalism' (AKA ' a pyramid scheme') for the dilemma Americans find ourselves in believing we can have it all, we're owed it all, at the best possible price (for us..)
... All the extractive resources.

The Iranian Foreign Minister says it looks like they WILL be doing their nuclear power fuel recycling via France and Russia. More.
Where is the $500 million for the Health Care Bill shortfall? According to CBS '60 Minutes', stop the fraud and you'll have your Heath Care funding. Details, and more in the commentary.
President Obama has declared a "State of Emergency" over H1N1 'Swine Flu'. Schools are turning out to be the #1 disease vector. No one knows exactly how many people in the US have the it because of medical privacy regulations, which only keeps the information (information which may even include whether a friend of yours might be in any given hospital) from public dissemination, but not from distribution within the medical-industrial complex.
