but does ius approval rating even matter anymore? he got his second term? it really only affects the people around him who may have hopes of running the show in the future...

the first thing is trully horrible though.

I honestly believe that no matter how sound our logic and how right our reasoning, we aren't going to be able to stem this tide anytime soon.

Abortion, blurring the line of church and state, elective wars, the driving under of the middle and lower classes, etc. The people who are most damaged by the Republican party run wild are the ones who are going to have to see the light before things get better. If they have enough taken from them maybe someday they will see the light.

We are just going to have to wait for the breaking point to occur.

on a completley unrelated note,

seeing an infant in a casket with her mother today, depressed the hell out me.

Reading Kristoff's op/ed in the NYT today regarding Sudan depressed the hell out of me.

Rank of Texas among states in which the largest percentage of citizens lack health insurance : 1

Rank of Vermont : 42

I'm siding with the godless liberals of Vermont on this one. Texas is nothing but trouble when it comes to health care and women's rights.

Well... at least Spoon has a cool avatar.

Oscar Wilde for President, (yes, I know he's dead).

Actually... in that case....Morrissey for President!

Heh. Oh, lordie, the nation would have been screwed if Wilde had become president. He'd have spent the whole term mocking the house and senate.

Oh, wait...

Dubya mocks congress, too, but it's not really the same.

It was one of Dubya's (Oscar Bushisms):

"I got to disincline yer invitation owing to a coming up engagement thingy"

"Anybody can make history stuff, only a great fellah can be writing it down and everything"

"Men get on in years but damned if they get too good"

"A good shirthole -- why can't I get one of them things anyway?"

"There was these cannibals, see, and they didn't have nothing to eat, so God went and sent them a Catholic."

"Trouble with women is they keep resisting your advances and then they don't let you hightail it to dodge"

"I like my men and women to have those future and past things"

"By persitinating in singlehood, guys end up fooling around a lot"

"Ambitous folks are what it takes to refuse the failure"

"I'm natural in my poses, see if I'm not."

"The only way you can make love to a woman is to tell her she's pretty even if... hell...even if you you don't mean it that much."

"In America, see, the president reigns for four years, but these journalists get up in your junk the whole damn time."
