But but Bush is going to be remembered like Washington!
What I need to know is how low are NToddler's approval ratings.

Guess he's not the "popular war-time preznit" that Tim Russert keeps telling us about.
I know this will come as a great shock and disillusionment to many of you, but it seems that Joe Lieberman is a fuckstick:
NAPOLITANO: Hey Sen. Lieberman, you know Barack Obama, is he a Marxist as Bill Kristol says might be the case in today’s New York Times? Is he an elitist like your colleague Hillary Clinton says he is?
LIEBERMAN: Well, you know, I must say that’s a good question. I know him now for a little more than three years since he came into the Senate and he’s obviously very smart and he’s a good guy. I will tell ya that during this campaign, I’ve learned some things about him, about the kind of environment from which he came ideologically. And I wouldn’t…I’d hesitate to say he’s a Marxist, but he’s got some positions that are far to the left of me and I think mainstream America.
To be fair, at least he "hesitates" to call Obama a Marxist.
What a dick.
But, of course, the Biggest loser is really the country...
McCain will make the economy disappear!
Worst.
President.
Evaaaaaah.
No contest.
Ooops. Sorry liebniz.
haloscan lied and told me no one had posted. :-(
Piling on ponies!
McCain will tell the economy to get off his lawn, goddamit!
kick the fucker. again and again.

It's about the media started piling on the Shrub.
even if obama has opinions that are left "of mainstream" so? so what?
Since I was mostly dead-threaded, here's another look at Florida's latest proposed license plate.
Hence my outrage.

Uh... ew.
USA! USA! USA!
the biggest loser is teh winner, get it?
Bush hasn't received majority approval for his work in office in ABC News/Washington Post polls since Jan. 16, 2005
This was the same week that Atrios began his Wanker of the Day awards.
Coincidence? You decide.

Haloscan is a mystery wrapped in a dog turd inside a Windows plaform.
This has been added to the announcement of the inflation numbers (which, oddly enough, have much to do with George's "popularity")
Finished energy goods were up 2.9 percent while food goods increased 1.2 percent.
On a year-on-year basis, producer prices were up 6.9 percent while core 12-month PPI increased by 2.7 percent -- the largest rise since July 2005.
Okay, three per cent a month: that is 35% a year on something that is figured into EVERYTHING. Folks, we are in a shitload of trouble. I mean SERIOUSLY.

I understand the media whores being in the tank for aWol but why Harry and Nancy?
history started on VJ day dont you know. everything before that is lost under the sands of time.
& if the MSM were not such a bunch of wankers (where are the daily Candy Crowley reports on Bush & McCain wealth? & how they got it?) it should be the lowest since his oil pals killed the Japanese fishermen while playing w/ a nuke sub--86 months ago.
The secret to all these variant state license plates is that the state charges a fee for most of them. It's a moneymaker. (Well, at least here in KY)
Don't expect it to go away any time soon.

Wonder which of Obama's opinions are to the left of mainstream. Universal health insurance, supported by solid majorities in every poll, even by physicians? Social security?
And how is Obama to be construed, even remotely, as a Marxist? What is a Marxist, anyway?
Lieberman's been a politician for a long time, and deeply understands what labeling somebody a 'Marxist', with whatever degree of intellectual and ethical carelessness, means in American political life.
May his bones be ground to dust and scattered by the wind.

It's not necessarily problematic if you allow all faiths the same opportunity for a plate without question or editorial input.

Thanks. BTW, I hate that "since x" construction. Yesterday the radio said that "this is Pope Benedict's first visit to New York since he was elected pope in 2005." Which makes me wonder "you mean he was in New York when he was elected?" And then the next minute I spent contemplating why his visits to New York were being tracked so carefully. (I know why they use that construction--packing more info--but it's so often counter-productive because it confuses the hell out of me. Carry on...)

I have no problem with the "no surrender" part. Good for her if she wants to give all voters a voice in the nomination. But what happens if her strategy is semi-successful? If she mortally wounds Obama but he still secures the nomination? What then?
Halfdan
According to EVERYTHING I have read, there is NO CHANCE she can win without either tearing the party apart by taking the nomination with superdelegates or tearing the party apart by damaging Barack so badly that he has to withdraw or the delegates will reject him. Either way the operant words are, "Tearing the party apart."
My remaining question is, "Why do this if she cannot win without doing these things?"

BUSH DEFEATS TRUMAN!
Penguin | 04.15.08 - 9:42 am
Do he?
Of course they treated Clinton like he was incredibly unpopular when his approval was in the 60s, too.
That's because they knew, even if no one else did, that he would turn into a racist, scum-sucking, turd-eating, Holocaust-denying, baby-chewing failure as a president ... and a red-face bully, liar and cheat.
They knew years before that America, especially liberal Democrats, should shun him and deny him his place in the party while his shrew of a wife tries to steal Barack Obama's legitimate claim to the presidency.
They were prescient.

Suddenly, I jumped up on one of the marble platforms and, looking down, I addressed the entire congregation in the loudest voice I could. My voice rang out as if it were amplified. I pointed at Ratzinger and shouted: "He is no man of God!" The shocked faces of the assembled Catholics turned to the back of the room to look at me as I continued: "He is no man of God -- he is the Devil!"

Evolution doesn't 'move' to 'higher' forms of life, but to organisms better suited to their environment and thereby more likely to reproduce. No teleology at all in it. That's why 'social Darwinism' is neither terribly social nor at all Darwinian.

He has more money than probably most but not all of Eschaton commenters, and a lot less than either Hillary or St. McCain.

I've had a hard time trying not to wish that Monica Lewinsy would kneecap Hillary at some point and shout out, "He's mine! Do you hear me? He's all mine!"
Does anybody know a "movement" conservative (as opposed to a regular person who thinks he's a conservative) who isn't an asshole?
I know one of the former, and several of the latter. All friends, all basically good people, even the lone 'nut. Go figger...
and I am, from time to time, forced to socialize with folks involved in local radio, like it or not.
Oh, it wasn't a criticism. Frankly, when we moved here, we tried to find a good radio station to listen to, especially after being fans of WXRT in Chicago. I thought that Detroit would surely have a good one. Must have missed it, because we never did find one.

A relative of mine once got all hot and bothered over the fact that "millionaire" Hillary was going to receive a pension for her work in the Senate. Couldn't believe our tax dollars were going to cover a millionaire's retirement.

In this house, President Jefferson spread the word that liberty was the right of every individual.

Laura said no. I don't have a bathrobe.

Yeah, there really isn't, which is a shame, considering all the great music that has come out of here. I'll listen to WDTW (Detroit's "Progressive Talk," ya' know...meh)while cooking, until it craps out at around 7pm, but other than that, I don't listen to radio much at all any more. I think you're a little farther out than I am, but we get a station from Toledo (104.7, WIOT I think), but only in the car, which isn't half bad.

I can only imagine that green bean and cream of mushroom soup casserole with crunchy onion bits on top would be one of Cindy and John McCain's "secret" family recipes. (It is in my family.)
Obama's mom was on foodstamps for a period of time.
Not so, the Rodhams.
Personally, I hope the media don't even devote a second to the recipe plagiarism issue. It would just give them another excuse to not talk about anything substantive in this election cycle.

There was a repeat of John Prine on Austin City Limits this week. Looks weird (puffy cheeks) but can still croak okay. He had cancer and the radiation dropped his voice an octave or something.

Chimpy felt the Declaration of Independnece needed an extra word or two.
After countless centuries when the powerful and the privileged governed as they pleased, Jefferson proclaimed as a self-evident truth that liberty was a right given to all people by an Almighty.
I would prefer to see Jeff Gannon push Laura Bush off the stage, screaming"He's mine! He's all mine!".

hell? the RCC made that up to scare the teutonic tribes into converting.
"All of Bush's ratings are marked by sharp partisanship. Just 7 percent of Democrats approve of his work overall (a point from the low in this group) compared with 74 percent of Republicans."
Remember - uniter, not divider.
LIEBERMAN: I’d hesitate to say he’s a Marxist, but he’s got some positions that are far to the left of me and I think mainstream America.
I think that most of America would not approve of Lieberman carving "Blood and Honor" in German on his four-inch wang with a Hitler Youth dagger.
But that's just me guessing.

And how is Obama to be construed, even remotely, as a Marxist? What is a Marxist, anyway?--ProfWombat

Um, actually, no. Creating a unique recipe can be just as complicated and time-consuming (although, sometimes, it's just dumb luck/an accident) as writing a song or a story. Having come up with a few myself, one of the few things about which I'm actually proud, I'd be quite pissed if I found out that someone took my work and claimed it for their own.

Yup ... the day he wrote and later proclaimed publicly that people of my generation are not fit to serve in public office because we are too combative, that exposed him as someone willing to damage others and employ the weapon of wedge politics to advance his selfish aims.
His recent comments about small town people further cemented his reputation with me as a subtle bigot, one willing to tar people by group with foolish generalizations meant only to further his ambitions.
And you can't convince me that there aren't a fair number of gay people a little nervous about Obama.

If there is one thing the Republicans preach repeatedly is that they get the big bucks because they are the ones responsible. They are the CEOs. It is their RESPONSIBILITY in the end. Well, it is there with her name on it: it is her responsibility. Sorry. Mrs McCain, you are a liar and a plagiarist and if it were my recipe, I would be contacting my lawyer and suing you.

You're probably right, and it's that sort of thing that annoys me about the casual acceptance of deceit. We're used to it. We internalize it, and how appropriate it is. The makers of the site want to present it as Cindy's content, but it's a lie. And nobody gives a shit, because it doesn't hurt anyone...tangibly.
Maybe it shouldn't bother me, but I don't like that casual deceit. If Cindy McCain can't come up with her own web design or content, then don't make it "her" blog or "her" site. I am not naive enough to take things like a campaign website at face value, but wouldn't it be a better world if we could? I don't like having to go through life with a hyperactive bullshit-marketing-and-spin detector pinning on every single piece of information I see.

A point that might be made is that the Truman record of unpopularity was done in a period in which the polls were notoriously biased. Remember how the polls gave Dewey the election? Back then, the polls overreported the rich Repuglicans. The truth is, "W" is the most despised president in history.
At least he's the best at something. That something being sucking.
