* Terrible news: Almost no new jobs this month, bringing unemployment to 9.2%. Benen: Wake up, Washington, jobs landscape is deteriorating. Drum: We are ruled by charlatans and cowards. Our economy is in the tank, we know what to do about it, and we’re just not going to do it. The charlatans prefer instead to stand by and let people suffer because that’s politically useful, while the cowards let them get away with it because it’s politically risky to fight back.
* One important factor in the jobs disaster: CHART: Over 500,000 Government Jobs Lost Since Obama’s Inauguration.
* TSA agent caught stuffing traveler’s iPod down his pants. Apparently this guy stole $50,000 worth of consumer electronics before he was finally caught.
* Some good news at least: Governor Perdue has vetoed offshore drilling and executive-orders offshore wind instead.
* The last space shuttle has launched. China, your move.
* And your flowchart of the day: What Would Don Draper Do?

* 20 lies and counting from Scott Walker.
* Alas, Huckabee: Let us not mince words. There are at most five plausible Republican presidents on the horizon—Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, former Utah governor and departing ambassador to China Jon Huntsman, former Massachusetts governor Romney and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty. Even the conservative George Will thinks the GOP primary is “cluttered with careless, delusional, egomaniacal, spotlight-chasing candidates to whom the sensible American majority would never entrust a lemonade stand, much less nuclear weapons.” (via)
* Guv Bev Perdue has vetoed NC Republicans’ health care nullification bill.
* Now you can play Rock-Paper-Scissors against a computer at the New York Times. Warning: no Spock or Lizard options yet.
