Department of Labor Puts a Contract Out on the Rabbit


The Department of Labor (DOL) attributes the jump in initial claims to volatility related to the Easter holiday and other so-called "administrative" factors.

This was the second consecutive report in which the rabbit was blamed for the increase in jobless claims. DOL Secretary Hilda Solis announced today that for the sake of the equity market, she has contracted with Elmer Fudd to take out the pesky varmit. An anonymous source close to the Secretary overheard Hilda scream, "I want to see a rabbit's foot on my desk tomorrow"!

Mr. Fudd secured a perfomance bonus which is payable upon a successful kill prior to next week's initial jobless report. Time will tell Elmer. Grandpa's money is on the rwabbit.
