Unemployment rate down to 9% with only 36,000 new jobs created? 10 reason why it can't!

.4% drop in the headline unemployment rate to 9%, yet only 36,000 non-farm payroll jobs were created? How can A happen when B occurs?

Unemployment down to 9%...? It's now up by 1% since they fired MSNBC's "Madman" Keith Olbermann January 22, 2011 minutes past 8AM. Millions of liberal misfits, lefty radicals, pink picketers and anti-war street marchers, civil liberty union boosters, Democrats and their political elves are looking for jobs at the same time across the country -- looking just for that hard-to-find one single job to fit the square-on-a-round-hole Olbermann whom they want back to work to carry on their revolutionary cause. No replacement yet for this hard core character-assassin they haved in MSNBC like the "madman" since they rudely kicked him on his behind without warning ... and for him millions more are looking for jobs!!!
