From Talking Points Memo. “The red bars are the accelerating rate of job loss during President Bush’s last year in office; the blue bars are the decelerating rate of job loss during President Obama’s first year of office.”

Don’t know if the title is correct, and these are all still job losses. Still, that’s quite a graphic.

Lehigh Valley has an Auto Show??? Is anyone else as surprised as me? Why do I get the feeling there will be less excitement here than on Lehigh Street south of 78… ehh… I’ll still try to go! :)

Today’s forecast: “Mostly sunny with temperatures warming rapidly into the mid to upper 20s. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.” (Emphasis mine.)

You know it’s cold out when it’s going to warm rapidly into the mid to upper 20s.

…to President Obama for the shout-out to Allentown, PA in tonight’s SotU speech. Mad props.

Frantic Steve Jobs Stays Up All Night Designing Apple Tablet | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

CUPERTINO, CA—Claiming that he completely forgot about the much-hyped electronic device until the last minute, a frantic Steve Jobs reportedly stayed up all night Tuesday in a desperate effort to design Apple’s new tablet computer. “Come on, Steve, just think—think, dammit—you’re running out of time,” the exhausted CEO said as he glued nine separate iPhones to the back of a plastic cafeteria tray. “Okay, yeah, this will work. This will definitely work. Just need to write ‘tablet’ on this little strip of masking tape here and I’m golden. Oh, come on, you piece of shit! Just stick already!” Middle-of-the-night sources reported that Jobs then began work on double-spacing his Keynote presentation and increasing the font size to make it appear longer.

I was waiting in line at the café this morning when this photograph on the cover of the New York Times caught my eye. It was arresting. And devastating.

I don’t know how long I stared at it; I was still uncaffeinated and still kind of feeling the previous night’s vodka and in this sort of daze that threatened to turn emotional at any moment. Another patron asked if I was waiting in line. I told her I wasn’t; I needed to keep staring.

What a terrible thing we did over there. What a terrible thing that we chose to stop talking about it, that we chose to forget about it.

Hear, hear.
