From The New Republic (www.tnr.com) 5/16/04 "HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE NEW ZOGBY POLL: Bush's job approval is down to 42 percent. His approval on Iraq is down to 36 percent. Kerry is up by five points in the horserace (47-42). Right track/wrong track is at 54/40. The percentage who say it's "time for someone new" is at 53 percent. Kerry favorability is at 55 percent. Bush favorability is at 52 percent. Bush and Kerry are tied in the red states (45-45). Kerry leads in the Blue states (49-38), the East (53-36), the West (45-44), the central Great Lakes (47-41), and among progressives, (81-12), liberals (79-12), moderates (55-30), Hispanics (59-39), African-Americans (85-6), Democrats (84-9), and Independents (46-37). Bush leads in the South (47-43) and among conservatives (71-19), Whites (46-42), Asians (63-37), Republicans (81-8), and Libertarians (80-0). Not exactly a majority coalition."

Slate.com now has a Kerryism feature to complement their Bushisms feature. The obfuscating versus the inarticulate. Let the cage match begin.

Sunday Morning Cming Down - Mr. Cash (or Willie N.) "Well, I woke up Sunday morning With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, So I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes And found my cleanest dirty shirt. Then I washed my face and combed my hair And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day..."

Face it, she's on the downward spiral and needs to do anything to stay in the press - Her thighs are expanding enough to rub together, she's spilling over her low-rise jeans with what will soon be a fine selection of GLH (girl love handles) and she's dating some meshback who's got a kid by another woman/girl. She'll soon sink back into the whitetrash primorial ooze from whence she arose, with nary a bubble to mark her passage.

We took a field trip into the Toutle River valley below he crater before it opened - thanks to having a prof who was on the mtn. the day before it went. Cool to look up into hte crater from the moonscape of the valley. And if anyone has a 7.5 minute pre-eruption St. Helens topo, I'd be interested - I've got the 15 and the 30 minutes, and would like to complete my set.

And another 12-shot joke... Guy walks into a bar and orders a dozen shots of Jaegermeister. Barkeep asks, "What's up with teh tall order?" Guy replies, "I'm celebrating my first blowjob." "Congrats!" says the barkeep, "Hell, I'll throw in #13 on the house." "Nah," says the guy. "If 12 shots doesn't get the taste out of my mouth, 13 won't either."

A blonde walks into a bar and orders a dozen shots of whiskey. The bartender serves up and sure enough, she soon passes out. He puts her in the back room to sleep it off, then charges the patrons $10 each to do her. A few days later, she comes back into the bar. Barkeep asks, "12 shots of whiskey again?" "No, better make it vodka this time. Whiskey makes my pussy hurt."

Yeah, but if the bear shows up with one of these, the guy's screwed.

Hey Otters! Say hello to my leetle friend!

Bush does math, too. "y the way, we rank 10th amongst the industrialized world in broadband technology and its availability. That's not good enough for America. Tenth is 10 spots too low as far as I'm concerned." - Minneapolis, Minn., April 26, 2004 Alright, gotta weigh in a bit here. Bush may well be 'dumb like a fox,' as my mom would say, but his utter lack of communication skills make me wince every time I hear him speak - whether or not I agree with the topic. It's one thing to speak simply so as to not put off an audience, but another to not be able to speak well or think on one's feet other than a hackneyed repeat of your original talking point. The hallmark of the great statesmen was their articulate speaking and writing in both formulating and defending their ideas. I see none of that in either of the two cretins running for president at this time. Due to the overall dumbing down of our society and lack of critical thought fostered by everything from the PC movement to assessment-based education, I don't see that we will demand much of our leaders in the coming years.
