New job numbers came out today…unemployment went way down from 8 percent to 7.8 percent. Of course, a lot of this was because of the ever expanding industry of Mitt Romney fact checkers.

Now we know what Romney looks like when he is all charged up. And now we know what Michael Jackson looks like on diprivan.
