10.2-Percent that unemployment now stands at. That is the highest since 1983. So much for unemployment not going above 8% if we passed the $787 billion stimulus bill which by the way is not creating any jobs but rather being used for stuff like extending unemployment benefits and providing hot meals to seniors.

27-World titles won by the New York Yankees as they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in 6 games which is what I predicted. I have been critical of Joe Girardi ever since he was named manager because I felt he had not earned it. Joe Girardi may have brought back the 3 man rotation as it worked perfectly for the Yankees. Congrats to Hideki Matsui on winning the World Series MVP. More players should carry themselves like Matsui.

230-Page health-care bill proposed by the GOP. Nancy Pelosi’s health-care bill is over 2000 pages including amendments. Part of Pelosi’s plan are monthly abortion premiums and 6 month waiting lists for those uninsured. So if you have cancer or some other life threatening illness better hope you can last 6 months or you’re shit out of luck. By the way, Pelosicare just passed the house by a 220-215 vote.

69-Year old abortion protester Johnny Wallace was beaten up by 2 women. The women tried to tear down his anti-abortion sign and Wallace had to physically restrain the women. Imagine beating someone up because they value the life of the unborn?

7-Black lawmakers are facing an ethics probe. There was an 8th black member who was to be investigated but for some reason the Justice Department asked the committee doing the investigation to stand down. No white members are currently under investigation. What else could it be other than racism.

911-Call where Wisconsin woman called on herself because she was driving drunk. I say give her a break because although she did something stupid by getting behind the wheel while drunk she may have saved a life. This is a classic example of no good deed goes unpunished.

11-Year old Bulgarian girl Kordeza Zhelyazkova became one of the world’s youngest mother after she went into labor at her wedding. The father who is 19 years old faces 6 years in jail because the age of consent in Bulgaria is 14. Kordeza and her daughter will no doubt vote democrat as they are set to receive $115 a month in state benefits.

3-Or more cats now requires a $50 kennel license in Dudley, Mass. I mention this story only beacuse the other day I was at the grocery store and in front of me was a woman whose cart contained 10 of the gargantuan sized bags of cat food and what had to be a hundred cans. Then I remembered growing up as a kid there was always that run down old house with the spooky lady and her cats. Place was a dump and an obvious health hazard. What, noone else had a cat lady in their neighborhood?

7-Month old Shannon Dedrick was found in a pine box under her baby-sitters bed after the child had been missing for 5 days. The baby-sitter, her husband and the child’s mother will face charges. I know you’re supposed to have compassion but people that harm children are the exception to the rule.
