re: Fun with data
Your graphs disappeared from the post--they're probably transitory on the original site. But I had enough info to recreate them.
It would appear that Dubya has the singular distinction of being the President who's single-handedly managed to reverse 40 years of steadily increasing employment in America.
If you look at the second graph, the first "dip" was in 1990. If anything, George's father should have that distinction. ;)
I stand by my assertion that if Gore/Kerry were president, nobody in the media would be "massaging" the numbers.
