#1 I just got this CNN alert, "White House says 650,000 jobs were created or saved by $150 billion in stimulus funds".

#2 I woke up to a 1 million jobs created/saved claim on CNBC. If one in six doesn't actually exist, that's only 833,333... and 2.3 million lost thus far, if I recall correctly. Still, inventories are up by 1%, which means retailers believe the economy is starting to improve, whether or not it lasts.

#7 Too bad the FDA is spinning its time dealing with the claims of Cheerios rather than ones like these. One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee.
