No; I think March was 240K, April was 290K. Just heard Paul wants to repeal the disability act, ADA. That should win him some votes :>) Not only ADA but these as well: :Aside from the fact that he's already on record favoring the abolition of the U.S. Department of Education and elimination of all "pork" (presumably including public works investments, which are very important in Kentucky), the fiscal math he's committed to will expose him during every day of the general election campaign to the plausible argument that he favors cuts in wildly popular programs like Social Security and Medicare, and/or the kind of major defense spending cuts that no successful statewide Republican candidate in recent decades has ever supported."

Is this what you are saying is not measuring and bullshit? Purdue research exposes error in BP video "...Once Wereley used particle image velocimetry to create freeze-frame shots of the video, he used a computer code he developed to estimate how many pixels the diameter of the pipe was. BP said that the diameter was 21 inches, which Wereley estimated is equivalent to 400 garden hoses. Wereley created a conversion from pixels to inches to compute how fast the oil was coming out of the pipe. He used the area of the pipe and the speed of the oil, which he concluded was 2 feet per second, to compute the volume of oil being released. It was through these calculations that Wereley deduced 70,000 barrels of oil had been leaked..." purdueexponent.org
