public sector employment (federal, state, and local governments combined) has actually fallen by approximately 600,000.
This is a very unusual development as the figure below reveals.

And 2/3 of those 600,000+ jobs were held by women.

I know a number of teachers who will be unemployed in the Fall regardless of talent.

If a shitstorm develops over this, please begin the shitstorm in a more appropriate thread, so we don't hijack this one. I thought I'd seen a Trayvon Martin Shooting thread, and would have posted it there, but, I couldn't find it.

I didn't make this, I didn't even go looking for it. And I've lost the link.

I did find it interesting, even if I don't completely understand the numbers:

Could someone explain the spliff/joint/blunt distinction?

xoxoxoBruce · 06-02-2012, 09:01 PM

Spliffs usually have a rollrd heavy paper mouthpiece.

Blunts are usually cigars (or cigarettes) hollowed out and filled.

Gravdigr · 06-03-2012, 02:21 PM

A spliff around here is when you use the diagonal rolling technique. As opposed to a straight up joint. Supposedly leaves no roach.

A blunt uses a emptied cigar paper, or, alternatively, a wrap. A wrap is just an empty (sometimes flavored) cigar paper that was never a cigar.

YMMV

urbandictionary.com says

Quote:

a quality cigarette rolled with both tobacco and marajuana, initially popular on Europe's Iberian Peninsula

additionally, the term has been adopted to mean any high quality or well-rolled marajuana joint

Around me the term has been used to indicate a comically large joint perhaps even rolled with newspaper.

As your webmaster, I advise against smoking newspaper.

Just goes to show you can't get a definitive answer from dopers.
