The sticky notes at the front of the page

blue stars 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>

38 years ago..  




Yep. I lived in Ohio during the time, at the end of my 6th grade. Didn't mean much to me at the time.

A random elitist question  


danieldrezner.com :: Daniel W. Drezner :: A random elitist question
Given the media firestorm over Obama's "bitter" statement, and given the overwhelming commetariat consensus that this episode would hurt Obama in the polls, and given the polling results clearly indicating this not to be the case in either Pennsylvania or across the country, what can be inferred?
A) Gun-toting, small-town Jesus-worshippers are so bitter that they don't watch cable news outlets;

B) Gun-toting, small-town Jesus-worshippers are so bitter that they aren't likely to show up as "likely voters" in a poll;

C) Gun-toting, small-town Jesus-worshippers are so bitter that their phone service has been cut off;

D) Gun-toting, small-town Jesus-worshippers are so bitter that they dislike Hillary Clinton even more than Barack Obama;

E) The commentariat is elitist and out of touch with what engages gun-toting, small-town Jesus-worshippers.


My response:
This gun-toting, suburban, non-worshipping, white, upper-middle class voter is so bitter that he's saying "Amen, Obama!"

Then again, this disenfranchised Florida voter (doesn't matter, I voted for neither Obama nor HRC, but Democrat) is pretty much an oddity, even among his friends. But from my experience with the gun-toting, small town Jesus-worshippers (I'd say we're all equal, but I know some of them are packing pretty big heat), my choice would have to be E. But I can't speak directly for them, they might take offense and use me for target practice.

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.

The color of my mind.  





Your Mind is Purple



Of all the mind types, yours is the most idealistic.

You tend to think wild, amazing thoughts. Your dreams and fantasies are intense.

Your thoughts are creative, inventive, and without boundaries.



You tend to spend a lot of time thinking of fictional people and places - or a very different life for yourself.

What Color Is Your Mind?

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.

Your Thinking is Abstract and Random



You are flexible, adaptable, and creative.

There's many ways that you can learn - and you're up for any of them.



You relate well to other people, and you do well working in groups.

You can help people communicate together and work with each other's strengths.



You don't work well with people who are competitive or adversarial.

You prefer to work toward a common goal... not toward conflicting goals.

What Kind of Thinker Are You?

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.
