Another Malaysian airliner down. Who is stupid enough to fly over a war zone where US planes were not allowed to fly? This isn't PC, so sue me... .but I think people are fools to fly any airline from a Muslim country where the pilots might want to take others with them... Anyone want to make an app for flying that lets you check the pilots religion and country of origin before you buy a ticket? It could provide job security to atheists as I'd love to fly with someone who believes this is their only chance to do it right

Good unemployment news. UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE WEEKLY CLAIMS SEASONALLY ADJUSTED DATA In the week ending July 12, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 302,000, a decrease of 3,000 from the previous week's revised level. The previous week's level was revised up by 1,000 from 304,000 to 305,000. The 4-week moving average was 309,000, a decrease of 3,000 from the previous week's revised average. This is the lowest level for this average since June 2, 2007 when it was 307,500. The previous week's average was revised up by 500 from 311,500 to 312,000. ows.doleta.gov I guess keeping the taxes lower on the working folks like me per Bush and made permanent by Obama did some good. You wonder if you and others will ever give president Bush credit for a good idea that president Obama made permanent with corrections on the rich with higher rates on unearned income above a fairly high threshold. I am honest enough to give them BOTH credit.
