Conservation of numbers

You know how gas prices went up again yesterday, depsite nothing significant going on? It took weeks for them to drop a dime, and then in one day, up 22 cents. Anyway, now that gas will be going up above $3/gallon for a while, we need to do something with all those unused "2's". Here's an idea - use them to post the President's approval rating:

President Bush’s job-approval rating has fallen to its lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll. Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 29% think Mr. Bush is doing an “excellent or pretty good” job as president, down from 35% in April and significantly lower than 43% in January. Approval ratings for Congress overall also sank, and now stand at 18%.

I have mixed emotions about his plummeting approval rating.

The good news is that people, even the Kool-Aid drinkers, are waking up.

But the bad news is that this could make the crooked little fucker that much more dangerous. He may feel (rightly) like he's got nothing left to lose, so he can try something big. Real big...nu-kyoo-lar big.

It scares me.
