Bwild:  And Nancy Pelosi stands before the press and says that Americans are losing 500 million jobs a month.  Um, there aren't that many people living in the US. Let's see, there are 305,758,372.  Kinda like democrats that vote.  More vote than are registered.  More are registered than the entire population of any given State.  So at least her math is consistent!
