The DOL released a statement today explaining the high unemployment rate. It's because people just keep blowing their interviews:
According to the findings, seven out of 10 Americans could have landed their dream job last month if they had known where they see themselves in five years, and the number of unemployed could be reduced from 14.6 million to 5 million if everyone simply greeted potential employers with firmer handshakes, maintained eye contact, and stopped fiddling with their hair and face so much.

Elizabeth Edwards Died
I don't know where to put this so consider the SMC an open thread.
Elizabeth Edwards to me is a tragedy. She should have been the one running for President and you could tell that just listening to one town hall. She had better policy positions, a better grasp on the issues, on economics and to me, it's a reflection of the attitudes towards women as leaders.
She was the one, not her husband. What a loss.
