Yes, My Bush Boom is a lot like those Iraqi WMDs – except the wingers have yet to claim that My Bush Boom was spirited away to Syria.

In the week ending Jan. 8, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 367,000, an increase of 10,000 from the previous week’s revised figure of 357,000. The 4-week moving average was 344,000, an increase of 12,750 from the previous week’s revised average of 331,250.

Let’s see, the number of new jobless individuals for the week ending Dec. 29th was 321,000 (scroll down). The number for the week ending Jan. 6th was 357,000, and for the week ending Jan. 13th it’s 367,000.

Does anyone see a trend here?
