Finally, it’s Friday. And there’s even some good news for a change, as not only has the unemployment rate dropped below 8% (to 7.8%) for the first time in about four years, but the jobs rate for August was revised upward to 146,000 new jobs added (from 96,000). Mitt Romney’s not gonna like this one bit. Maybe this will knock Obama’s crappy debate out of the news for a while.

I’m not sure why Obama is such a wimp. I thought Chicago guys were supposed to be tough, but Barry’s debate performance is not unlike his performance with the Republican Congress the past four years. Lame. He’s pretty tough when it comes to ordering an drone attack or calling on the Navy Seals to go kill somebody, but when it comes to face-to-face stuff, not so much. Oh well, maybe he’ll get better.

It’s a three-day weekend coming up for me. The weather looks like it’ll be cold and crappy, so that’s good. I’d hate to squander a weekend being outside in the fresh air.
