From Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, apparently upset that his tax-fighting economic policies aren’t yet producing a paradise on earth:
It’s ironic that in a year in which Republican governors are leading some of the states that are making the most progress, that they almost, without exception, are classified as having a bump in their unemployment rates. Whereas states that are under Democrat governors’ control, they are all showing that their unemployment rate has dropped. And I don’t know how you account for that. Maybe there is some influence here that we don’t know about.
Maybe! It might be that the Obama administration is cooking the books to make Republicans looks bad. Or maybe Democrats in Georgia are deliberately refusing work in order to spike the unemployment numbers. Or—and this is my suspicion—maybe computers have finally acquired human-level intelligence and they don’t like Nathan Deal! If I were a computer, I sure wouldn’t.
