The Labor Department reported Friday that the unemployment rate rose to near ten percent. The national mood is grim. It used to be fun to sit and watch Donald Trump tell people they're fired but now it's like watching capital punishment on live television. 
The U.S. Capitol was swarmed by fresh faces Friday as new lawmakers began arriving before taking office in January. The swearing-in ceremony is a sacred tradition. The new congressmen stand in the Chamber, raise their right hands, and take the Hypocritical Oath.
Hillary Clinton held a town hall meeting in Bahrain Friday. She's smoothing over the damage done by the WikiLeaks revelations. She hasn't done damage control like this since she claimed there was a vast right-wing conspiracy when her husband was exposed by DNA Leaks.
Tom DeLay accused Democrats of criminalizing politics following his conviction in Austin for money laundering. It was a felony conviction. Ironically it's more than likely that Tom will soon get the opportunity to experience first-hand how a real laundry works. Chinese officials clocked their bullet train at three hundred miles an hour Friday. The search is on for an American teenager to drive it. They're the only ones with the reflexes to pilot a train going three hundred miles an hour while sending and receiving text messages.
