1. Sigh... what a pain waiting for the rest of the U.S to catch up to me LOL

Great data - I love all the data points. I hadn't realized that Bush was already declining *before* 9/11.

3. Steadily downward

And even each succeeding "jump" never brings him as high as the last jump, they just keep cycling downards.

4. Yeah it is hard to remember that the only people

who benefitted from 9/11 were Bush and his cronies.

At 31% his lowest approval rating is above Nixon, Carter and Dad.
But his DISAPPROVAL rating is at 65%! Only Nixon had a higher disapproval number at 66%. Neither Carter nor Poppy went above 60%.
This is the real story. The guy that Tweety said "everyone seems to like" is really disliked!

8. Shhhh--Nobody tell Tweety about the disapproval ratings.

It would be too much for him to process. The rest of the mass media too.

Actually, if the media were simple whores pandering to the lowest-common-denominator of public opinion, they would already be trumpeting the liberal line, calling for health care reform, raising the min. wage, getting out of Iraq, saving the environment, etc.

The fact that they are doing none of these things stands as clear proof that they are not whores, but are instead concubines, owned by and serving the Fascist ruling class.

2. Reminds me of some science experiments...

...where we had to redesign the graphs so that the data would show up...the cutoff was either too high or too low.
Looks like this graph is going to need a makeover pretty soon too...

:rofl: :popcorn:

5. Bin Laden will be caught before Election Day 2006

I think Bush was saving that one for 2008 to help usher brother Jeb unto office, but my bet is he needs to cash in that ticket to hold onto Congress and stave off meaningful investigation of his treasonous activities.

I'm goin' Down Down Down Down ..."
