Apparently, Bush's poll numbers continue to plummet. This pleases me, not because I hold our President in such low regard, but because of the way voters chose to elect him, to wit, because of the campaign's assertions that he had a set of characteristics that his actual behavior demonstrates he lacks, honesty and integrity chief among them. And it only took six years.
Meanwhile, the serious issues of the national import continue down the same path: making sure we get plenty of oil. The Iran project has already begun in exactly the same tone as the Iraq project. The Multiple Pretext Model (TM) is being employed, to offer several reasons why we should fear and loathe Iran: they have a nuclear program (allegedly); they support terrorism (allegedly); they are committed to the destruction of Israel (allegedly); they oppress their own people (allegedly); and we want to bring them freedom (allegedly).
