Anger and bigotry are the two most important marketing ventures of the Left, and just like an ex-spouse unable to recover from a divorce, the reliably bitter Los Angeles Titanic turned up on our doorstep at dawn today hawking its one of its two favorite I-Hate-You wares, sexual prejudice.
“Newly Created Jobs Go Mostly to Men,” belched the unfriendly headline above the No. 2 story on page 1.
Many, not all, liberals would concur with normal people that this is not a complex mystery.
Creative types could divine a multiplicity of choices looking for work, guys, girls and fill-in-the-blanks. For those of us who put on our toupeés one hand at a time, either women or men were going to land most of the jobs since the recession “ended” three years ago last month. This is not a breath-holding moment.
When we gathered our little family – grandparents, daughter, grandson, two dogs, three cats, a pet hyena and two corpses – around the cozy hearth last evening at dusk so I could read the latest job propaganda from the Obama administration, we cut the non-existent tension in our living room with a cheap, broken plastic knife.
Who Will Win, Daddy?
The story by one of the Titanic’s less incendiary bigots, panting Donnie (My Great-granddaddy, Robert E., is Famous for Surrendering, But I Never Will) Lee, says that 80 percent of jobs since June 2009 have gone to men – or women dressed as men.
Already in the third paragraph, Mr. Lee confesses this development is not a big deal after all. It was to be expected. He writes:
“One reason: Male-dominated manufacturing, which experienced sharp layoffs during the recession, has rebounded in recent years while government, where women hold the majority of jobs, has continued to be hit hard.”
What, I beg, does this prove? That most squirrels are gay? Or that doggies with four legs walk better than doggies with two?
It is, screamingly, a non-story. Fortunately, but it is another opportunity for the Titanic to hammer the dead horse of bigotry.
Do Not Admit This to Anyone
Finally, in the 20th paragraph, Mr. Lee blushingly acknowledges that he has been on a bogus mission. “Gender discrimination in job hiring is hard to prove,” he whispers. He also admits that in the last fiscal year, more men than women filed complaints of unfair hiring practices based on gender. Oh. Do not tell anyone.
Dear readers, please do not pledge to fast until the Titanic reports that women dominate government positions.
Further, do not promise yourself to wait for the truth-strangling President Obama to confess that in the White House two-tiered whammy, women not only hold many fewer jobs than men but also earn markedly smaller salaries. Hmm.
Barry, you see, is too busy scoring Mr. Romney at his world-record 200 fundraisers. He did acknowledge this morning that all future fundraisers will be held in ghettos and barrios. “Ah am a friend of the middle class,” he said. Admission, however, remains $39,500 per person – a $5discount for minorities anmd other middle-class hangers-on.
