Welcome to August and thanks for stopping by The Western Word for another edition of “Thursday Numbers!”
If you are a new visitor, this column is where I take a look at the numbers that are in the news (in descending order) and provide commentary (sometimes spiked with a little sarcasm).
NOTICE: By reading this column you may be able to use the information to impress your family, friends, and co-workers. This is your only warning.
This week I write about the Powerball jackpot, unemployment, Sarah Palin, sugar, prostitution in Belgrade, the Eagles, MTV, cold temperatures, blogging in Saudi Arabia, subscribers, stolen dentures, minimum wage, Walmart, Camp 7 detainees, Pro Bowl changes, amusement rides, babies in Utah, and much more!
