Weekend is here.. Thank goodness right? Time to Happy-Dance!
Yesterday was a yuk day. Job numbers were Bad. But we told you they would be. Told you that the economists and investors didn't have a clue what they were talking about in their predictions. Also told you that every vested party had quick rationalizations, and double-talk (psst.. Lies) to explain it. But past is past.. today's a new day. So let's enjoy the new day by looking back at yesterday.. its "Quick thoughts" time!
Top Obama adviser says unemployment won't be key in 2012 (The Hill) -- Oh sure, totally unimportant. Who wants a silly ol' job anyhow? They just get in the way of watching "The View" and Soaps.

Major grocer getting rid of self-checkout lanes (MSNBC) -- Albertsons supermarket is getting rid of checkout lanes so they have "opportunity to talk to customers more". If you can't attract customers with affordable food prices, try friendliness- its free.
UN: Texas execution broke international law (USA Today) -- And to show their displeasure, they were going to gather a 'coalition of the willing' and prepare for a regime change, then the UN remembered it was the US that broke the law, and meekly apologized for being snippy.
Elizabeth Smart to work as ABC commentator (AP) -- The former abductee will be a commentator focusing on missing persons and child abduction cases. Hmm, looks like one network is expecting a rush of child abductions and planning early.
