"Stocks rose on Friday after the release of a long-awaited jobs report that showed an economy that still isn't growing fast enought to require drastic tightening by Alan Greenspan's Federal Reserve".

Leave it to Reuters to put a negative spin on some tremendously good news.

Why are they doing this? Answer: because the improvement can wholly be ascribed to Bush's successful economic policies.

An example of why America will prevail over Europe, simply because it attracts immigrants who try harder, rather than those of Europe, who tend to wind up on welfare rolls.

Most of these children are recent immigrants.

The question Europeans should be asking themselves is why don't they attract the talented and the hard-working immigrants? The answer, of course, is that America is the place to go IF you want to strive and succeed, while Europe is the place for freeriders.

On the same day, we learn from Helsingin Sanomat an example of how development aid should be dispensed to developing countries. Hooray for China and Costa Rica!

As for Remec, it's time to pay more attention to shareholder interests and ditch evil little Finland for good.

Here Finland's president is again touting that old saw that Nordic countries are truly concerned about aiding the developing world.

No word on whether Finland will work to allow Nicaraguans to export their agricultural produce to the EU. That, after all, matters more than a mere 2 million euros for "easing" poverty.

Time flies when you're busy with business, and life. Blogging has been quite the last thing on my mind.

I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, in terms of this latest project, so blogging should be more regular now.
