Clint Eastwood

Speaking of Detroit in the Super Bowl Chrysler ad yesterday Eastwood said, “What’s true about them is true about all of us.”

He’s damn right.

What’s true about Detroit, is that no corporation is saving it.  In fact, according to some people, stuff around here isn’t too great.

Let’s not forget Chrysler, America just saved you (for the second time in my lifetime), not the other way around.

I’m all for hope, breaking down political barriers and good jobs that pay a living wage.

Chrysler stood up for a lot of that in that ad.

But Chrysler, GM and Ford’s comeback should not be equated with Detroit’s comeback.  We are more than our historic employers and fact is, most of us don’t work for them anymore and we have a lot farther to go.

Detroit is more than its brands, America is more than its corporations.

But our problems are bigger too and to loose sight of that is a very scary proposition.

Robert Reich: America's Jobs Deficit, and Why It's Still More Important than the Budget Deficit -

Read this over the weekend… you’ll have lots of time while you make cocktail weenies (or little grape jelly and chilli sauce covered dick jokes as I like to call them) for the Super Bowl Party.

I think the Giants are going to win by the way, because Eli Manning always looks like he just smelled a terrible fart/is contemplating if anyone can tell he just let out a silent but extremely terrible fart.

But I hope Tom Brady wins because he went to Michigan, lived down the hall from 71.4% of my UM crew and looks like he may never have farted.

The most significant aspect of January’s jobs report is political. The fact that America’s labor market continues to improve is good news for the White House. But as a practical matter the improvement is less significant for the American work force.

President Obama’s only chance for rebutting…
