“Damn” was her audible response
I recently heard a surprising story: A female CEO was briefed on a stellar candidate for a top job at her company. “Sounds ideal,” she said to the group in the room. “Male or female?” Male was the answer. “Damn” was her audible response. The guy wasn’t even interviewed. Why Are Men SilentSearch BIS

Paul Hsieh: “Most people would regard the Denver Post version as inaccurate and misleading.”
Media Underplays Successful Defensive Gun Use
From the Post:
Employees and clients at other offices in the medical building were able to escape with the help of SWAT officers.
Follow the above link to see what the Colorado Springs Gazette and the local CBS affiliate reported. Let’s just say, there were no SWAT officers there when the employees, clients/patients, were able to leave the building.
One has to wonder what would the Boulder Daily Camera report? I tried to use their search engine and it didn’t appear to be working this morning.

Say it ain’t so…
John Hinderaker: “The Context Is Worse Than the Quote”
Democrats have tried to defend “you didn’t build it” by suggesting that Obama’s pronouncement was taken out of context. But on Larry Kudlow’s TV show, Romney made the same point we have made here: the context was worse than the quote. To fully appreciate how bad it was, you have to read or watch the entire speech:
Stunning, stunningly pathetic.

How unemployment discourages hiring
Interesting article from CNN money written from the employer point of view.
The silent job killer: Our unemployment system
And the problem in a nutshell…
The Marsh-Newnam partnership has all the makings of a grassroots business story that — stitched with thousands of others — could aid an American jobs revival. Except for one thing: Marsh isn’t hiring. He’s being killed by unemployment taxes that are on their way to quadrupling since 2009. When new business comes calling, Marsh says, “I have to ask myself if there’s another way to meet production needs without adding employees.” He would rather pay overtime than shell out a per-worker tax of $900 (up from $270 three years ago) that is slated to rise to about $1,100 in 2014.
Rising unemployment taxes.

Hot Air: “That’s embarrassing”
Germany may need to — er — “adjust” its own clean-energy standards
Le sigh. Yet again, we’re presented with another demonstration of what happens when a government tries to engineer the society it wants based on the current regime’s political ambitions, rather than what is practically and fiscally possible. Is it really a good idea to just unilaterally decide that your country is going to overhaul its energy sector, just because you wish it to be so — the costs be damned? And besides spending unsustainable amounts of money on government programs to support the renewable ventures of its political favor, a perhaps greater concern is that the energy/science/tech industries are busy rent-seeking and chasing subsidies rather than a free-market profit. Government interference distorts market signals and displaces resources — what if they’re potentially wasting their time and resources on ideas that may not be worth a hill of beans while they could be researching and developing new alternatives that really could stand a shot? If this keeps up, perhaps we’ll never know.

Ed Morrissey: “Very clearly, Obama isn’t scoring an early knockout on his politics of division.”
Obama’s Campaign Incompetence Will Hand It to Romney
Ed concludes:
The clumsy and self-defeating attacks only draw attention once again to a stunning lack of competence in Obama’s campaign – and Obama’s lack of a positive agenda for re-election. With the economy sliding backwards and after three straight disappointing jobs reports, the president cannot point to any success in his stewardship of the US economy. Despite his legal victory last month on ObamaCare, his signature legislative achievement remains so unpopular that Obama and his surrogates want to change the subject whenever anyone asks about it. All Obama can do is to attempt to exploit divisions by demonizing higher income earners and paint Romney as a vampire capitalist, and hope that Romney’s wealth will frighten voters enough to distract from Obama’s failures and lack of any new ideas. Even when Obama can outspend Romney, the polls show he can’t sell that strategy – and four more months of economic stagnation will only make his desperation more apparent.
