GIVE THE MAN A REST, FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS – AT 9:37 P.M. ET:  The vice president of the United States, and its associated territories, possessions and postage stamps, has spoken on the subject of the economy.  The world listens:

WASHINGTON: Vice President Joe Biden predicted on Friday the U.S. economy would create 100,000 to 200,000 jobs next month, with a rise to 250,000 to 500,000 jobs per month soon afterward, according to a press pool report.

"We caught a lot of bad breaks on the way down. We're going to catch a few good breaks because of good planning on the way up," Biden told a political fundraiser
in Pittsburgh, the pool report said, as he hailed the Obama administration's recovery efforts.

President Barack Obama has insisted that boosting jobs is his top domestic priority, mindful that persistently high unemployment could mean heavy losses for his Democrats in November's congressional elections.

COMMENT:  One to two hundred thousand jobs next month?  We also understand that Iran will disarm, Al Qaeda will become a synagogue-building contractor, and Bill Ayers will enlist in the Marine Corps.  I've checked all this out. 

The vice president needs time in Disney World.  Wait.  He lives in Disney World.
