Quickie- Unemployment claims at 352,000, fewest since 2008

Every day is just a little bit better.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people seeking unemployment benefits plummeted last week to 352,000, the fewest since April 2008. The decline added to evidence that the job market is strengthening.

Jack Abramoff no longer works at the kosher pizza place

I found this little Taegan tidbit hilarious:

Disgraced Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff has finished his stint working at a kosher pizzeria in Baltimore and is now on probation,” the AP reports.

Sauer grapes?

My original post about his little after school job is here.

Dear Obama administration: Can I haz job? Love, Arlen Specter

Arlen’s goin’ a-job beggin’:

Sources tell ABC News that Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) “has informed the White House that he would like to consider remaining in public service after his senate term ends at the end of this session, and White House officials are keeping an open mind about possible job openings for him.”

Y’see Arlen, this is what happens when a career Rushpublic politician turns Dem for no other reason than to win an election, admits it, then loses said election.

Who will venture a guess as to which job title bone they’ll throw him… if any?

Jack Abramoff Gets A New Gig — At A Kosher Pizzeria

An “oy vey moment” for Jerky Jack:

Disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, mere months after serving his debt to society for bribing Congressmen and related shenanigans, is making mad dough these days in his new job.

That job, according to The Baltimore Jewish Times, is at kosher pizzeria Tov Pizza.

Mr. Saurkraut has a new job. How adorable. Will he wear an apron? Oh but I kid the felon.

Mazel “Tov”, Jack. This is quite a boost for you.
