Odd Jobs

February 8th, 2010 No comments

No, not the one with the deadly hat sailing at Bond -- James Bond. Jobs these days are headline items. Seems there aren't enough of them and it is causing the politicians problems -- to say nothing about the guy down the street. The solution has been to spend money on a variety of pork barrel items.

Cass Sunstein! No, not that Cass Sunstein. It is the one that's the Harvard Professor and heads up the Big O's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
