AP/Yahoo: Initial jobless claims increase unexpectedly

Unexpectedly??? Were the stats corrected for the unrelenting Spring storms, local and regional transitions and layoffs, or the plain fact that macro numbers are a functionally useless measure of the American economy? No.

Just another bunch of functionaries sitting in sunless rooms pushing statistics from one side of a desk to another. And the sick thing is they get paid to be wrong. Fuck it. Better you should believe in the Green Gorilla.
