Pharmalot... Pharmalittle... Good Morning

Hello, everyone, and how are you today? Another terribly busy morning is unfolding here on the Pharmalot corporate campus, where the short people need extra prodding on their way to the local schoolhouses. Nonetheless, we will persevere - with help from a few cups of stimulation - and look forward to a productive day. We hope yours is equally rewarding. To help you along, here are a few tidbits. And now, off to the races...

Good to see GSK bringing work in house. Now the Spanish unemployment rate will drop from 22.85 to 22.84.

Observer, actually, the more important point is that no matter who is hiring in europe all of the major pharma players are moving their profits out of european banks because of the euro debt crisis. Now if Obama and Congress just play ball and not whack us for bringing that money stateside we might be able to put that extra money to good use over here, like fattening my dividend.

Oh, did I forget to say that repatriating profits should be used to hire American workrs? Sorry, must be my cynicism, IMHO.
