Fudge!

Lamentably, we’re not talking about soft, gooey, chocolaty deliciousness right now …

Instead, we’re saying “Fudge!” like you would when stepping on a nail with your five-year-old right beside you, thus rendering unsay-able what you really want to say.

Which, of course, is “f*ck.”

Anyway, with the U.S. Department of Labor poised to announce a whopping 522,000 lost jobs for the first month of 2009, a lot of people will be saying the latter today no matter who’s around.

From Bloomberg:

Today’s report showed a reduction of 243,000 workers in goods-producing industries including manufacturers and construction companies. Service providers cut 279,000 workers. Employment in construction dropped by 83,000.

Companies employing more than 499 workers shrank their workforces by 92,000 jobs. Medium-sized businesses, with 50 to 499 employees, cut 255,000 jobs and small companies decreased payrolls by 175,000.

Remember, this is after $10 trillion in government interventionism that was supposed to rescue us from an “economic Pearl Harbor.”

And to that total, “The One” wants to add roughly another trillion, mostly in state and local government bailout money that will shore up priority Democratic agenda items.

Unreal.

The bailout approach has failed, people. And there’s no way to fudge the numbers any other way …

Fudge … get it?

Oh whaddy’all know from funny anyway, ya putzes.
