I was called Monday Morning for a political phone survey. I always participate in those and was a little surprised at how open ended this one was. The first question was "What do you think the president's first priority should be in the coming year?" Usually they go on to recite a list of choices, but this time the pollster just waited. I said "He should be resigning."
The pollster went on to ask a bunch of questions about reform, which is what I bet the expected answer was. Then again, it may have been a push poll where they aren't interested in your answers, they're just trying to spread more propaganda. I was having none of it. I made it emphatically clear that the Abrhamoff series of scandals is entirely Republican and they are NOT the ones to be claiming they can fix it. As as example, the three leading contenders for DeLay's old position in the Congressional Hierarchy are arguing over who is the least corrupt, not who isn't corrupt.

Hey, ease up...the president's been busy playing Zork.

That is good except for his last approval rating, which dipped far below that in offical polls and I believe is still that low or lower.

That's why we're gearing up to invade Iran! Gotta get those poll numbers up. And this time he can use the mushroom cloud threat and maybe even be kinda sorta in the ballpark (except not).

My answer to a mailed survey as to what the greatest challenge facing the US was: Poor Leadership in the Whitehouse. :)

Think you would have gotten a visit from men in suits if you had suggested ritual suicide?

quite possibly. Then I could have spent hours explaining "metaphor" to them.
