4. LOL how come Robert Novak is still employed?
He outed a CIA agent and absolutely nothing has happened to him.

We have NYTimes journalists and others being prosecuted for not revealing their sources...yet Novak doesn't even get called into court.

Why is Robert Novak employed is the real question.

6. I'm not surprised
I just found out that 2 of my friends are now unemployed.

Adding to my fiancee, unemployed for 3 1/2 years now, and other friends/acquaintances having trouble keeping work.

Yeah, the economy is just great /sarcasm
