Thursday Numbers
The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don’t tell you what to see. ― Alexandra K. Trenfor
Welcome to “Thursday Numbers!” In case you’re a first-time visitor, this is the weekly column where I take a look at the numbers that are in the news (in descending order) and provide commentary sometimes sprinkled with sarcasm, humor, and bluntness.
This week’s topics include Tom & Gisele, unemployment, illegal crossings, ICE raids, paint for the White House, Pizza Hut, mass killings, Curt Brockway, Bullock & Quinnipiac poll, Rod Blagojevich, and much more!
Caught My Eye…
I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an ass of yourself. ― Oscar Wilde
Hello June – you beautiful thing!
Welcome to the big show to end the week “Caught My Eye” (CME)!
If you are a first-time visitor, CME is posted right here every Friday morning. This is when I take a look at some of the stories I did not have time to write about during the week. I often throw in a touch of sarcasm to make you smile – or to irritate you just a little – maybe both.
Topics that I am providing commentary about today include Sheriff Bob Edwards, Montana Lottery & debit cards, Primary predictions, Samantha Bee, Free Blago, The Americans, and One More Thing!
Four Things for Wednesday…
Through chunks of hail, flash floods, and tears from having my tomato crop (my one and only plant) destroyed in the storm, nothing can keep me from posting my daily column!
Are you ready?
Here are four things you need to read today:
- Trump Self-Destruction Tour
- Bernie vs Debbie
- The Blago Appeal
- Elway vs Osweiler

This week I write about good-paying jobs, a jackpot, unemployment, The Godfather, the State Dinner, candidates, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Dee Snider, Bret Michaels, Afghanistan, gunshot wounds, lottery pools, Blago, and a lot more so be sure to read on!
Thursday Numbers
Just one more day until the weekend – I know you can do it! Hold on!
Almost every Thursday I take a look at some of the numbers behind the news and I call it “Thursday Numbers.” It is one of the most-read columns every week.
Today in Thursday numbers I take a look at a blogger who is not a journalist, unemployment, I say Happy Birthday to a couple of ladies, I mention Tester’s big speech in NYC tonight, I remember a Beatle, I write about a shameful and sickening discovery, and much much more – so read on!
Caught My Eye…
Congrats! It’s Friday and you made it…and you did not need a boat either!
Thanks for stopping by The Western Word and checking out this week’s edition of “Caught My Eye.”
Caught My Eye is where I take a look at some of the stories during the week that I did not have time to write about, and I briefly comment about them (sometimes with a little sarcasm).
This week some of the things that Caught My Eye were a Facebook sting, Facebook tattoo, Schweitzer and Baucus, Schweitzer and China, Iowa and Romney, Gingrich, Weiner, Blago, Palin, my political inbox and much much more (plus a music video at the end)!
So read on and have a great weekend! Continue reading
