Quote for today…

Some people were born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple. – Barry Switzer

Welcome to “Thursday Numbers!” In case you are a first-time visitor, this is the weekly column where I look at the numbers in the news (in descending order) and provide commentary sometimes sprinkled with sarcasm and humor.

This week’s topics include the nation, state, and local COVID numbers, unemployment claims, Zinke’s financial disclosure, murder & terrorism, TWW poll results, Biden approval numbers, and much more!

Note: Since last Thursday was Thanksgiving and I did not post Thursday Numbers, some of today’s numbers are being compared to data from two weeks ago.
