America's most popular 21st century president!
.
Especially Harvard & Yale!/a>
.
Maybe he should do another visit to the ranch to show he's a real Murkan.
The photo accompanying the article looks like something out of "Deliverance".
3,892,044 seconds to go.
So David Broder finally got his Bush Bounce.
Of course, we all approve of his departure.
Oh, and terrorist fist-bump.
Of course, we all approve of his departure.
Mudge
I kinda think that's the real point of the article. The more Bush moves away from being President, the happier we are with him.
Seems kinda straightforward to me.
for repugnicants, it's lowered expectations...IOW: he's a fucking retard, so we give him lots of rope
And Andrew Malcom picks up his Bush Family lollipop. What an idiot.
Yes, only 72% revile him.
So, Moe's neighborhood was directly affected.
Well, sorta. Houses and a church down the hill had damage. But my neighbourhood proper didn't exist yet-- my house was built as part of the rebuilding effort that followed the Explosion.
Time for an errand or three. Later.
I think 28% is too high - where are they polling? Utah?
Now, let's talk about Cheney ...
That 28% approves of the fact that he's leaving. Reporters are idiots.
Bush BOOM!
.
Good grief.
The dipshits are still shilling for the pimp. A 4% increase from 24% to 28% is sold as people start 'reliking' Bootsy?
What a load of crap.
he was the bestest president ever!!!
Americans start re-liking George W. Bush
Heh.
The same percentage who think the nation is headed in the right direction is the same percentage who think lead paint is food.
the upside to the past 8 years is that it's never, ever going to be unfashionable to bash bush. and correct, factually speaking. we'll have so much to blame him for, for years and years to come...
I'm taking a poll.
Does anybody here think I have
1) Friends?
2) A life?
3) Male genitalia?
I'd like to know, really.

Chidyke,
You have the blizzard there that we have here?
Reporters are idiots.
good germans shilling for their repugnicant editor overlords
Americans start relic-ing George W. Bush
Fixed their typo.
cd mentioned snow in her first post of the day, iinm.

Virginia,
i find myself wondering what the fuck i got up early for this morning, given the lack of interaction with my client who scheduled an online session with me today. i'm all like "hellloooo! is this thing on? i'm waaaaiiiting..." to nuthin but crickets.
God, it's only December 6, and we've got enough to cause an avalanche.
It used to snow like crazy in January and February, but I don't recall getting the amount of snow that we are now getting in December when I was a kid.
Well, since I haven't blogwhored today, let me simply add that over at Box Office I declare "The Dark Knight" a flawed masterpiece, and we nominate the Coolest Screen Performances That Should Have Won an Oscar But Didn't.

Yet Tweety is demanding Obama seize the reins right now which would be patently illegal.
Okay, I'm procrastinating.
Must. go. bake. cookies.
We send them to her son and her buddies, who are in the Air Force.
Of course, we keep some...
I made the sugar cookie dough, the Peanut Butter Blossoms (always confuse that with Turd Blossom - I should just rename it the Karl Rove cookie because it's so evil for you), and the Butterfinger Bars last night.
We're doing 12 more today.
So have a nice afternoon, kiddos.
I might consider liking Bush after he has served 100,000 consecutive life sentences for crimes against humanity and subverting the Constitution and stealing elections and neglecting his duties after Hurricane Katrina and crimes too numerous to mention and/or yet uncovered.
The five hundred thousand jobs lost in November was the worst monthly number since 1974, when another Republican was in office.
Explain to me again, how the Republicans are the ones who know finance and economy, and the Dems don't.
Seems to me, Dems are always unshitting Republican beds.
32°F here... supposed to get up to 46, but... maybe I'm glad to not be scooting around for cameras, today.

Would that suffice?
28% is not that great???
for a murdering lying torturing looting president, that's a HUGE number of deaf dumb and blind retards wandering around with the right to vote, operate heavy machinery and bear arms - be very fuckin' afraid.
fizzies to all no doubt - good morning from frosty and sunny Montreal!

Forrest J Ackerman, writer-editor who coined 'sci-fi,' dies at 92
By Dennis McLellan, LATimes
December 6, 2008
Forrest J Ackerman, who influenced a generation of young horror-movie fans with Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine and spent a lifetime amassing what has been called the world's largest personal collection of science-fiction and fantasy memorabilia, has died. He was 92.
Ackerman, a writer, editor and literary agent who has been credited with coining the term "sci-fi" in the 1950s, died Thursday of heart failure at his
home in Los Angeles, said John Sasser, a friend who is making a documentary on Ackerman.
As editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland, Ackerman wrote most of the articles in the photo-laden magazine launched in 1958 as a forum for past and present horror films.
"It was the first movie-monster magazine," Tony Timpone, editor of horror-movie magazine Fangoria, told The Times in 2002. Timpone,
who began reading Famous Monsters as a young boy in the early '70s, remembered it as "a black-and-white magazine with cheap paper but great
painted [color] covers. It really turned people on to the magic of horror movies."
Primarily targeted to late pre-adolescents and
young teenagers, Famous Monsters of Filmland featured synopses of horror films; interviews with actors such as Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi
and Vincent Price; and articles about makeup and special effects.
The magazine reflected Ackerman's penchant for puns, with features such as "The Printed Weird" and "Fang Mail." Ackerman referred to himself as Dr. Acula.
"He put a lot of his personality into the
magazine," said Timpone, who became friends with Ackerman. "It was a pretty juvenile approach to genre journalism, but as kids that's all we had."
Among those who grew up reading Famous Monsters of Filmland was author Stephen King. Other childhood readers included movie directors Joe Dante, John Landis and Steven Spielberg, who once autographed a poster of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" for
Ackerman, saying, "A generation of fantasy lovers thank you for raising us so well."
Ackerman was a celebrity in his own right, once
signing 10,000 autographs during a three-day monster-movie convention in New York City.
This, after all, was the man who created and
wrote the comic book characters Vampirella and Jeanie of Questar and was the ultimate fan's fan: a man who actually had known Lugosi and
Karloff and whose priceless collection of science-fiction, horror and fantasy artifacts ran to some 300,000 items.
For years, Ackerman housed his enormous cache of books, movie stills, posters, paintings, movie props, masks and assorted memorabilia in his 18-room home in Los Feliz.
He dubbed the house the Ackermansion. The
jam-packed repository included everything from a Dracula cape worn by Lugosi to Mr. Spock's pointy ears and from Lon Chaney Sr.'s makeup kit to the paper-plate flying saucer used by director Ed Wood in "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
For Ackerman, a native Angeleno born Nov. 24, 1916, it all began at age 9. ....
That's
when he stopped at a drugstore on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard
and Western Avenue in Hollywood and bought his first copy of the
science-fiction magazine Amazing Stories.

To be fair, they'd have to work hard to resolve dissonance if he skull fucked Oprah's grandma whilst eating the still-beating heart of a kitten in the rose garden live on TV. On the flip side, though, it would make Palin's negatives go down in comparison.
My new tactic is to try to make people here feel sorry for me.
Anybody think it will work, or will I just immediately go back to being obnoxious and stalking that Jew from New Jersey?
Seems like unemployment percentages are the key to declaring a depression as distinct from a recession. Gasbags telling us the numbers aren't as high as in the 30s and thus that we're not in a depression don't console me. We measure differently, not counting those who've given up or work shorter hours than they need or want. We also measure unemployment comp claims, not around in the Great Depression.
I'm pretty sure we're in the Meh Depression, at a minimum. They'll tell us we have been since now in about 6-9 months.

The only chance of it not being ignored and forgotten is if someone is stupid enough to engage it in a long debate and namesteal it.
To be fair, George Bush had to deal with the fact that he was the worst President ever.

Crooks & Liars had a chart of all the recessions of the last 60 years. I added it up:
98 months of recession under Republican presidents.
18 months of recession under Democratic presidents.
I have nothing to add to that.

Now, there's something you don't see every day in this place.
we had a visit from a flock, abot 8, gnatcatchers yesterday. the tiny birds come every so often. this time they were in a magnolia bush then went around the house to caper in the big orange tree. two of them had repeated battles among the orange twigs. and boy, can they maneuver in close quarters. very sweet.
dunno if they are CA gnatcatchers or blue-greys.

Someone should ask that la times guy how he's gonna scrape bush's skid marks and fecal matter off the constitution and things.
andrew malcolm from the LATIMES is a gooper apologist.
he used to be balanced out by Don Frederick, who did straight reporting, but Frederick was laid off or took a buy out.
Malcolm is another sad nail in the LAT coffin.
WTf...why are they even trying to talk up and prop up "the guy you wanna have a beer with" popularity? I mean it's like they're living in an alternate reality where 9/11, Iraqmire, worst financial crisis in 90 years, and worst lawbreaking done by war criminals never even occurred. Jeebus what is it with these idiots...he's the Worst. Preznit.Evah! History will NOT be kind no matter how popular the villagers try to make him. It's too late people... just stop trying to recreate your own reality ..history is history and it's not going to change no matter how hard you guys clap. This will be a dark dark period in history books with our grandchildren inquiring to their elders just wtf happened. ..and I'll proudly respond don't blame me I never voted for the man.
Because we're going to like him a lot better when the sorry fuck is rolling in his own puke and screamin scratchin his DTs.
GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE BEST PRESIDET THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS EVER HAD!! JUST BECAUSE YOU INGREATS DON'T APPRECIATE THAT HE SAVED US AFTER 9/11 DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE DIDN'T! OBAMA WILL BE LIKE JIMMY CARTER "A FAILURE" AND THEN WE'LL ELECT ANOTHER RONALD REAGAN, JUST WAIT AND SEE. CHURCHHILL LOST IN ENGLAND IN 1945 AFTER WINNING WORLD WAR 2 WITH US AND NOW HE'S CONSIDERED ON OF THE BEST ENGLISH PRESIDENTS EVER! DUMBASSES.
Anybody else notice that the LA Times guy is a Bushie (former press secretary to Laura Bush.) That explains things I guess... with 6 weeks to go, Laura's upset that people don't like George.
Note that the LA Times, in the original and the related blog posts, manage to cite the numbers for all the most recent republican presidents -- Regan had a "fine departure" at 63% -- and in passing notes that the Dem presidents also got a bump ... but they manage to avoid mentioning which president had the highest departure ratings (higher than 63, anyway). Can anyone guess?

George Bush is at the Army-Navy game. He was heard yelling "Go Air Force"!
Twenty-eight percent is still quite a few dumb motherfuckers.
It's very entertaining to see the mmedia treating 28% as a trend, not a blip. The only thing I can think of that could explain a real uptick of GBW approval is relief - relief that every passing day makes it less likely that he will attack Iran, or license more coal-burning power plants or pardon Rumsfeld. Judicial appointments are withering as the days dwindle down. THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS. And that's what makes us go soft on Bush. It's the American way.
Malcolm actually used to work for Laura Bush (something he couldn't bother to mention in his entry)
