    Sense? This makes none. The new RNC chairman and token black guy Michael Steele bemoans the stimulus package on the teevee this morning because, see, it only creates work, and not jobs. Got that. It creates work and NOT jobs.

    I have no idea what this moron is talking about, but George Stephanopolous tries calling him on his batshit statement:

    "STEELE: But you've got to look at the entire package. You've got to look at what's going to create sustainable jobs. What this administration is talking about is making work. It is creating work.

    STEPHANOPOULOS: But that's a job.

    STEELE: No, it's not a job. A job is something that -- that a business owner creates. It's going to be long term. What he's creating...

    STEPHANOPOULOS: So a job doesn't count if it's a government job? [..]

    STEELE: ... That is a contract. It ends at a certain point, George. You know that. These road projects that we're talking about have an end point. "

    Got that, see, if it's a contract, then it's not a job. It's work. And it's not what the American people need.

    Man, it's going to be real fun on Monday when I go into work and tell my boss we don't have jobs because we do shit with contracts. You know, our contracts end when we fullfill them, and well, that's just not a job apparently.

    Please, when will we stop listening to the morons in the Republican party when they open their mouths to talk about economics.
