    Only one did on this forum that I can recall, but in this thread we have had several cheering Robert Mueller's death.

    What else should you expect from the losers that were happy?

    I see that Trump is being his usual assho!e self again…  No class at all…

    Even if you dislike the deceased, act like a human being, but that isn’t possible when he talks…

    I nearly picked Nobody's Fool from Caddyshack 2. Still love that song and it hasn't been played to the point of decomposition. 

    I actually wished that Kenny Loggins had come out with a Soundtrack Greatest Hits album...

    Job creation near zero...

    Job creation in the US has slowed to essentially zero, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday as the Fed released its latest economic projections, which included slightly higher economic growth than previously projected and little change to the unemployment rate.

    Altogether, Powell said, central bankers see "a degree of stability" in the labor market.

    "But the thing that I think a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is just the very, very low level of job creation," Powell said in a press conference following the Fed's decision to hold interest rates steady.

    "Effectively, there's zero net job creation in the private sector," after accounting for revisions over the past six months, Powell said. "But actually, that looks like that's about what the economy needs, in terms of dealing with very, very low — nonexistent, really — growth in the labor force, which of course we've never had in our history."

    Indeed, the country may not need as many jobs as it once did amid lower labor force participation rates and immigration declines. But Powell also noted that "labor demand has clearly softened as well."

    The job market hasn't shifted dramatically since Powell's last press conference in late January. But whatever brief glimmers of optimism existed are now in doubt. The unemployment rate, now at 4.4%, ticked back up in February as the economy shed 92,000 jobs, while December and January's job gains were revised lower by 69,000, meaning there's been barely any job growth in three months.

    In their new policy statement, Fed officials removed language that noted the "unemployment rate has shown some signs of stabilization," saying instead that "job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has been little changed in recent months."

    Well that is really unfortunate...

    I keep hoping that one day you'll grow a sense of humor but I guess after 20 years I can pretty much let that one go.  I guess posting about kids being left in hot cars every day takes it's toll on the humor glands.

    Speaking of letting something go...  I have not posted any PSAs about children in a hot car or cold car in over a decade...

    And I got the joke, if it was actually applicable...

    Friendly bump to the top. Its day one of the tournament and you still have homos littering the board with politics. 

    It is what they do "best"...  They don't like sports...  They act like they do, but we know better...

    I was so close to picking Against All Odds.  It is the song (and movie), along with Sister Christian, which i associate with my breakup with my favorite GF in HS.  :thumbsup:

    Also, not on your list is I'm Alright - Kenny Loggins from Caddyshack, which i considered because I love that movie.

    I really should have worked in a song from an Eddie Murphy movie. He was IMO the funniest comedian of that era, and my favorite of all time. :thumbsup:

    I was going to do I'm Alright, but according to the Wiki page, it only reached #7...  I thought it had reached #1 as well...

    I think when people constantly talk about the people they have on ignore it kinda defeats the purpose (I know I have been guilty of talking about peefoam and he is the only one I have on ignore)

    At least you picked the right tool...
