The sticky notes at the front of the page

for my 3 MPs (no, not my MP3s...)

Blogroll has moved to a new page. It was just too huge (close to 1000 blogs in Bloglines) and helps the page load time tremendously. Blogrolling.com just sucks, and Bloglines has too much. Oh, and I have updated Blogrolling.

Have a nice day!

Poll: More disapprove of Bush than any other president  

Poll: More disapprove of Bush than any other president:

A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Thursday indicates that 71 percent of the American public disapprove of how Bush is handling his job as president.

"No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup Poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president's disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director.

"Bush's approval rating, which stands at 28 percent in our new poll, remains better than the all-time lows set by Harry Truman and Richard Nixon [22 percent and 24 percent, respectively], but even those two presidents never got a disapproval rating in the 70s," Holland said. "The previous all-time record in CNN or Gallup polling was set by Truman, 67 percent disapproval in January 1952."

…

President Nixon's disapproval rating in August 1974 stood at 66 percent

The poll also indicates that support for the war in Iraq has never been lower. Thirty percent of those questioned favored the war, while 68 percent opposed it.

…

The numbers on the Iraq war come on the five-year anniversary of Bush's "Mission Accomplished" moment on board the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, when he proclaimed that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

…

I'm shocked! I'm just shocked I tell you! </sarcasm>

Blogthings - The City Walk Personality Test  

What Your City Walk Means

You are optimistic and hopeful. Sometimes you do get disappointed by expecting too much. You are quite introverted and maybe even a little shy. You prefer to interact one on one with people. Money is not important to you at all. In fact, you tend to reject material concerns. You enjoy the world around you, and you thrive on new environments. You can be easily surrounded by natural or man made beauty.

My new nickname  

This morning during my shower I had an epiphany.

My new nickname is the Incredible Hulk.

To quote Dr. David Bruce Banner, "You won't like me when I'm angry!"

Fitting. Very fitting.

Come on and do YOUR part!  

Rosie and I are doing our best to keep the economy going.

I just purchased three (two were a set) 8 x 8 x 2 Pyrex bowls/baking pans/whatever. I got one in pink to match her large pink (13x9) pan. And I got two lime green ones just like my mom's that I managed to bust. They were Ebay purchases.

We bought a persian rug to go in our hall for 99 cents. Shipping was $124, so we'll see how that goes. Another Ebay purchase.

Then I bought a wireless USB printer server. That will allow everybody to print to it, even away from home once I'm done configuring it. Another Ebay purchase.

One of the kids is interested in a local car that's listed on Ebay. Of course.

And we haven't even received our check yet. Soon, due to the fortunate nature
of my SSN.
