Top 10 reasons Bush’s poll numbers make me so happy

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

It’s time for a little self-analysis.  But first, the juicy details:

(Washington Post) Disfavor for Bush Hits Rare Heights

President Bush is a competitive guy. But this is one contest he would rather lose. With 18 months left in office, he is in the running for most unpopular president in the history of modern polling.

The latest Washington Post-ABC News survey shows that 65 percent of Americans disapprove of Bush’s job performance, matching his all-time low. In polls conducted by The Post or Gallup going back to 1938, only once has a president exceeded that level of public animosity — and that was Richard M. Nixon, who hit 66 percent four days before he resigned.

Okay, here are the top 10 reasons Bush’s poll numbers make me so happy:

10.  It’s fun watching Republicans pretend that Ronald Reagan was the last GOP president;

9.  Since Fox News assiduously avoids reporting any bad news for the GOP, this takes us one step closer to that glorious day when Fox will simply run out of things to say and disappear into the ether;

8.  I just love watching David Broder’s head spin around like the girl in the Exorcist;

7.  Seeing the populace regain their sanity has allowed Thomas Jefferson to stop telling everyone in the afterlife that he’s French;

6.  The lower Bush’s popularity goes the better I feel when I’m flying on an American built plane;

5.  Every point dip in Bush’s popularity adds one week to the time the five Supreme Court justices who put him into office will have to spend in the afterlife doing penitence by watching his speeches, one after another after another;

4.  Call me shallow, but it’s just so much fun watching my formerly cocky Republican friends cringe when I say to them, “So, what do you think of your boy now?”;

3.  It’s good to know that not every crook in America is as popular as Tony Soprano;

2.  Bush’s unpopularity will almost certainly help to fill the shortfall in enlistments to our armed services, since all of the pro-war Republicans (and their staffs) voted out of office next election will no doubt take the opportunity to immediately put their butts where their mouths are by joining up in droves.

(But seriously now folks . . .)

And the number one reason why Bush’s poll numbers make me so happy . . .

1.  THEY MAY HELP TO END THE WAR!

Abstinence in Wonderland strikes out again

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

When it comes to the abstinence only boondoggle — that great ideologically driven theory of sexless sex education that’s managed to waste the public’s money and put our kids in peril all at the same time — there’s really only one question left to be answered: is there any amount of evidence establishing that these programs don’t work that will be sufficient to finally allow us to be done with them?

Here’s the latest:

(Washington Post) Teen Sex Rates Stop Falling, Data Show

The long decline in sexual activity among U.S. teenagers, hailed as one of the nation’s most important social and public health successes, appears to have stalled.

After decreasing steadily and significantly for more than a decade, the percentage of teenagers having intercourse began to plateau in 2001 and has failed to budge since then, despite the intensified focus in recent years on encouraging sexual abstinence, according to new analyses of data from a large federal survey.

The halt in the downward trend coincided with an increase in federal spending on programs focused exclusively on encouraging sexual abstinence until marriage, several experts noted. Congress is currently debating funding for such efforts, which receive about $175 million a year in federal money and have come under fire from some quarters for being ineffective.

The leveling off in teen sexual activity is worrying experts and advocates across the ideological spectrum. The fall of such activity has been one of the key forces behind a historic drop in teen pregnancy rates and has bolstered efforts to protect teenagers from sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS.

Well now, isn’t that precious?  Not only have we flushed hundreds of millions of dollars down the toilet pursuing a program that doesn’t work.  By doing so — and thereby effectively reducing the availability of the balanced approach to sex education that’s actually been shown to work — we’ve made the problems we’re supposedly attacking worse.

Yet, we not only continue to fund this fraudulent monstrosity, but, if the Democratic controlled House gets its way (you heard me right — the Democratic controlled House), funding for the abstinence only fairytale may actually be increased in the next budget.

Apparently, as discussed later in the article, the Democratic House leadership decided to use abstinence funding as a bargaining chip to get GOP support for the annual health and education funding bill.  I honestly don’t have words that can adequately describe the stupidity of this move.  If nothing else, congressional Democrats should remember that almost all abstinence only funding goes directly to their opponents in the Religious Right. 

Senate Democrats have done a little better, proposing modest cuts in abstinence funding, but even that’s not close to good enough.  All federal support for this damaging example of junk science should stop now. 

Not one more dollar.


Roof blogging envy

I love my kids and wouldn’t give up my already inadequate time with them for anything.  That said, to be honest with you, I can think of more conducive circumstances for sharing my “wisdom” with the “masses” than thumping away at my laptop while SpongeBob blares in the background and my young boys carry out their nightly riot.

Just once, blogging like this would be kinda nice, don’t you think?

My Generation Chickenhawk revelation

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

Watching Max Blumenthal’s priceless video, Generation Chickenhawk, was something of a revelation to me: I finally understand how mature Republicans, the ones currently holding office in Washington, can be so pathetic.  They used to be young republicans.

This has been all over the web for several days, but just in case anyone’s missed it, it’s a true must see.

At Alteration, by way of Atrios

However, where in hell do we go with that last passage there, about how the haircuts matter because “a healthy chunk of the political press corps” doesn’t like Edwards, and how they’re staying away from a sauce-for-the-goose position on Mitt Romney’s makeovers because of their own private calculations of the relative electability of the two candidates. OK, here’s the deal. Every member of that “healthy chunk” of the press corps should be fired. Today. This minute. Without pay or recompense. Let them all walk back inside the Beltway from Cedar Rapids if they have to. I value what I do. I value the work of the people in my business who do it correctly. But, holy mother of god, these people do not do what I do. It’s OK to sneer at a candidate if you don’t like him? It’s OK to create a destructive narrative out of unmitigated piffle because he doesn’t kiss your ass with the regularity you think you deserve, or because his press buses don’t run on time, or because one of his staffers was late with the Danish in Keene? I watched a roomful of them boo Al Gore seven years ago, behavior that would have gotten them run out of any press box in the major leagues. Do you think one of these jamokes — or jamokettes — is thinking, “Maybe we should lay off the haircut thing because of what we all did to Gore in 2000, and look how well that worked out.” Please.

Here’s what I think — the majority of people who cover national politics believe that history is whatever happened in the MSNBC Green Room 15 minutes earlier. I believe the campaign is covered by people with a completely unjustified sense of their own superiority, since not many of them understand or ever care about most of the issues, much less the horrendous bills that are going to come due upon whichever of these poor sods winds up with the job. I believe these people care more about their reputation around the bar at the Wayfarer in Manchester than they do about the interests of the people they purportedly serve. And, were I an editor, and someone brought me a story about John Edwards’ hair or Mitt Romney’s skin, that person would do it once. The second time, the lazy bastard would find himself typing bowling agate on Wednesday night.
