Oh my! I missed this when it was first published in January 2000. Reading it now I think it's all so true. Funny / not funny.

iSay - Take care of business at home, stop lying and witholding information, be big powerful caring and compassionate. OK, who am I talking to?
From NYTimes:
Unwilling to take new jobs that pay far less, neither employed nor looking for work, they are not counted in the jobless rate, and a surprising and growing number of them instead depend on a government check to get by.
Once these statistical nonpersons are counted, the labor market of today looks all too similar to those of supposedly bleaker past decades, according to a number of recent studies by economists. Even when the unemployment rate was near a 30-year low in 1999 and 2000, men from the ages of 18 to 54, as a group, spent 11 percent of the year not working, roughly the same as in the late 1970's and late 80's, according to one study.
Things are considerably worse today. In the last two years, the official jobless rate has risen and an additional two million people appear to have dropped out of the labor force. Today, the real level of unemployment for men probably approaches the level of the recession-mired early 80's.

Chargers 21
Patriots 14 |
The Patriots were outplayed today by a team that wanted to win this game more than the Patriots. It was another exciting game and a close battle but after the first quarter when the Patriots got a drive going the Chargers D managed to stop them time after time. This week the Patriots D were unable to effectivly stop the Chargers run from making big plays and consistantly getting into the secondary.
I hope the Patriots recover their desire to win before next weeks meeting with the Dolphins in Miami. Both teams are 3-1 in the AFC East. This is a big game for both teams.
Excuse the brevity of my post I was napping before the start You can read all about the game at the links below.
