Weeeer'e Baaaaaack! CTTW believes in Numerology! Calls unemployment benefits a tragedy equal to Pearl Harbor & Elizabeth Edwards death!

Hello friends

Huffington Post is reporting that Christine has dropped two verbal bombshells yet again. You'll hear about the grim way she compared extension of the hard earned unemployment insurance benefits to workers who have paid into the mandatory insurance system and now are in great need in a holiday season when there are 5 job seekers for every 1 job available to the tragedies of Pearl Harbor and the untimely death of Elizabeth Edwards.

As bloodthristy as this merciless comparison is, as insulting to the memory of a woman who was a true friend to the working people, it is perhaps not as classically Christine as her hilarious dead-serious assertion that in her words "tragedies come in threes"

Either one must conclude that she is a believer in numerology, or one is led to suppose that if she had been elected she would have fought hard for the "Don't step on cracks, protect America's mothers from broken backs Act" and the she will denounce as futile any attempt to repeal the "Bad luck for Mirror-breakers act"

Christine's interest in numerology should be no surprise, it fits right in with her interest in witchcraft. To quote Wikipedia:

"Numerology is any of many systems, traditions or beliefs in a mystical or esoteric relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things."

"Today, numerology is often associated with the occult, alongside astrology and similar divinatory arts.[citation needed]

The term can also be used for those who place excess faith in numerical patterns, even if those people don't practice traditional numerology. For example, in his 1997 book Numerology: Or What Pythagoras Wrought, mathematician Underwood Dudley uses the term to discuss practitioners of the Elliott wave principle of stock market analysis."

Most importantly, it is not for her or any politician to say whether or not unemployed people should get unemployment checks. These minuscule payments, calculated at a maximum of 60% of one's former income, are a right, not a privilege. Wage workers are forced by law have numerous taxes and fees deducted from their paychecks, not like the rich who get to pay at the end of the year based on a voluntary reporting of their own income. This particular fee goes to a program called Unemployment Insurance, because it is an insurance plan. Workers pay their fees each week and they are thus entitled to get the benefits they paid for if and when they need them.

No politician has a right to take that away from them, and to discuss ideas such as cutting them off to "force them to work" when there are no jobs, or making them "repay the loan" of their rightful insurance benefits is both inhumanly cruel and flagrantly dishonest or ignorant of what "unemployment checks" really are.
