Finer Day

If 10/05/05 was a fine day in the neighborhood, then 02/28/06 is a finer day in the neighborhood. On 10/05/05, a CBS Poll had Bush's Approved rate at 37%. Today they announced that after a rise to 41% last month, it has dropped now to 34%. Fun with numbers we call that.

Lying us into a war for oil didn't do him in. Neither did looting the Treasury. And even giving his buddies in the oil industry lots of tax breaks while cutting Food Stamps wasn't enough. An attempt to gut Social Security? Nope. Drowning citizens in one of the nation's poorest areas? Kinda. Now we have the Dubai Port storm. Not enough on it's own. But, aggregating all of these items we get a push for the bottom. Now 34% isn't as low as it could go. And I would certainly love to see it drop to zero, but it is going to be interesting to see just how low it can go over the next three years. THREE YEARS? These damn people can still do a lot of damage in three years. Let's hope that the Democrats can wrest control of the Congress from these ass-hats in '06 and begin to turn this ship in the correct direction.
