Friday Open Thread [5.2.14]

My apologies for being incommunicado this week. My real life job had me traveling everywhere and working late nights. So let’s get caught up on some polling goodness and good job numbers:

The latest jobs report has a clear and comforting message for the White House and nervous Democrats: the economy is not tanking again. The April report, showing a bigger than expected gain of 288,000 jobs, should quiet fears of another spring slowdown and revive hopes for faster growth the rest of this year.
