Sunny Side Down. Why 1.4 million new jobs haven’t ended the jobless recovery. [Slate Magazine]

I think things could turn around for Bush.  This is bad news.  The trouble is that the things Kerry is using to attack the Republican administration can all be fixed. 

The economy?  Its already turning around.

Iraq?  Sure, things could get better there if they stopped making so many stupid mistakes.

John Ashcroft?  Well, they’re pretty much screwed as long as he’s in the administration, but everything else can turn around.

Last night I recorded a program off the History Channel.  Its called “Nazi Guerrillas”.  Its about the guerrilla tactics used by the Germans at the end of and after World War II.  In light of how things are going in Iraq I’m interested to see what happened at the end of WWII.  It sounds like attacks went on for years.  There were guerrilla teams set up at the end of the war to harrass the advancing allies and to gun down collaborators. 

They were called “Werewolves”.

Fearsome, eh?

Sure enough I called Verizon and told them I wanted the lower rate. At first the balked and didn’t want to give it to me.  When they figured out that I might drop my service and go with Yahoo!-SBC or Cable they gave me the $29.95 per month rate.

BOOYAH!

I think I need to let Verizon know that I’m unhappy with this latest change: http://www.verizon.net/fusf

It looks like its out of their control, but they need to know that I’m dissatisfied with it. It pushes my bill much closer to the cost of cable, which can be somewhat faster. I wonder if I should threaten to change providers unless they lower my bill. I’m paying $37 a month for it now. I bet I can get it lower
