Week In Review - July 14, 2012

Disappointing employment numbers for June confirmed that our economic recovery is still limping along, but the facts in our updated job creation chart show we are still on the right track. Democrats in the California legislature, however, are totally on the wrong track with their recent decision to spend billions of borrowed dollars on a high-speed rail system.

Louis Freeh released a scathing report on Penn State's handling of sex abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky, and Joe Paterno's family didn't disagree with his damning conclusions.

Frank Ocean's sexual revelations raised eyebrows, while his new album and the song We All Try are raising the bar on R&B music. Gotye is no longer all the rage in pop music, but Gotye parodies are still hilarious.

From the animal world - we pondered dog intelligence and wondered if our pets really understand us, and in light of two recent great white shark encounters, we made a silly list of the least helpful phrases to yell when someone is being chased by a shark.

As always, thanks for reading.
