Welcome to the first “Thursday Numbers” column of March! Is this a great country or what?
If this is your first time visiting The Western Word, “Thursday Numbers” is my weekly column where I take a look at the numbers in the news (in descending order) and provide commentary sometimes laced with just a little sarcasm.
NOTICE: If you read this column you may be able to use the information to impress your family, friends, and co-workers. Then again, when they find out that you spend your time reading blogs they may not be too impressed…
This week I write about SPAM, unemployment, calligraphers, Dow Jones, Public Service Commission, renters, the 1913 session, minimum wage, knives on planes, Mansfield-Metcalf, bison, filibuster, Kansas City Royals, and much more!
