WW III --- YES, IT'S A "WAL-MART AND WAR" ECONOMY
IN ANOTHER "SIGN-OF-THE-TIMES" ---
Wal-Mart draws huge crowd - of applicants
Some say 6,000 job hunters a reflection on economy Monday, November 26, 2007Zachary LewisPlain Dealer Reporter
As the world's largest private employer, Wal-Mart is used to being greeted by large numbers of applicants almost every time it opens a new store.
But the 6,000-plus people who applied for jobs at the new Supercenter in Cleveland's Steelyard Commons took everyone, even Wal-Mart, by surprise.
"We had to recount [the applications] three times," said Mia Masten, Wal-Mart's director of corporate affairs, Midwest division.
When thousands of people compete for a few hundred ordinary jobs, trend watchers say it's an indication not only of a less-than-stellar economy but also of a workforce short on marketable skills.
The huge number of applicants wouldn't have caught anyone's eye had these been skilled, high-paying jobs, the types of positions that thousands of people always seek.
But these were regular retail jobs with low-to-average wages and benefits, not the sort of positions typically in high demand. Target wouldn't disclose the number of people who applied to work at its Steelyard Commons store.
Sadly, few of the people interested in working at Cleveland's first Wal-Mart actually got a job.
Those 6,000 people were competing for some 300 positions. That means for every one person hired, 19 people walked away empty-handed.
It could have been worse. In Illinois recently, Masten said, 25,000 and 15,000 people applied at two Wal-Mart stores in the Chicago area, and neither of those is a large Supercenter.
"Sometimes, it's easier to get into [someplace exclusive] than a job at Wal-Mart, statistically speaking," she said.

DRAFT AL GORE - RUN AL, RUN!!!
Al Gore For President! There. I've said it. It needs to be repeated a million times, by a million other American citizens.
He's practically out-polling Hillary and he's not even in the race yet! Frankly, the Democrats have not put up anybody that is overwhelming. Al Gore is by far the most formidable candidate the Democratic Party has to offer the country. If he runs there is no way he will lose. Voter turnout next Fall would be colossal.

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THIS - [FEINSTEIN/SCHUMER] - WHO NEEDS ENEMIES???
Friday's announcement that Democratic Senators Diane Feinstein and Chuck Schumer will support the nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey for Attorney General is a shocker to be sure, but certainly not totally unexpected. Feinstein is a repugnant in sheep's clothing and Schumer is nothing more than an opportunist and "player".
With these two "turncoat" Dems on board, Michael Mukasey will be the next Attorney General of the United States irrespective of his less-than-spectacular stance on waterboarding as torture. Mukasey should have at least provided an answer akin to that of former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's reply to the definition of "pornography". Justice Stewart answered that I don't exactly know how to define it but I know it when I see it. That type of answer should have been forthcoming from Judge Mukasey in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. It was not!
The vote by the full Senate is a foregone conclusion. Mukasey will be confirmed as the next Attorney General of the United States. He will no doubt allow for torture of detainees based on his view of the prerogatives of executive power - which in his mind are virtually unlimited.
For Mukasey, there is very little that can be denied a sitting President of the United States when it comes to national security.
How the Democrats can expect to continue on as the loyal opposition is beyond this writer's comprehension. They have virtually cannibalized themselves overnight since last Fall's seemingly promising electoral returns. They are nothing more than enablers of a drunken administration - drunk with power, revenge, lust, greed and world empire mania.
At the very least we should all innudate Feinstein's office with phone calls on Monday before the vote by the full United States Senate. The toll-free Congressional Switchboard telephone number is - (800) 862-5530. Call this number on Monday to reach Diane Feinstein's Washington, D.C. office - or call her San Francisco office at (415) 393-0707.
