"And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide"

Via Marshall -- and I can't believe this -- Bush is still trying the "we created 350,000 jobs in six months" spin.

Okay. I can believe it. But alas, 350,000 divided by six is just over 58,000, which is a third of the amount of jobs that need to be created monthly just to keep up with population growth.

And furthermore, that 350,000 number is just above the amount of jobs Bush claimed his 2003 tax cut would create each month. Obviously, uh, 9/11 changed everything!
