    Only in America can a centre-right candidate be called a socialist This is particularly funny given that I just read/heard about a whole gaggle of British Tories expressing support for Clinton because of the far-rightwingedness of the modern GOP.

    Clinton's economic proposals aren't very different from Obama's. Red-baiting is fun, though. Anyone who disagrees with Glenn Beck is a dirty commie, amirite? But Huck supports the FAIRTAX~! I'd like to know what differentiates Romney's economic policy from the other GOPsters.

    I understand that argument, and would take it more seriously if McCain and his cohorts weren't screaming about those pushing for a withdrawal timetable are "emboldening the enemy" or "slapping the troops in the face." Wouldn't his calls for withdrawal from Somalia have these same effects? If his only argument was that Somalia & Haiti were less serious, it would be an honest disagreement. But he's making arguments today that would directly apply to the kind of calls he & other right-wingers were making about Somalia & Haiti (and Bosnia & Kosovo). He's being a big old hypocrite.

    Oh, do tell. I'm not excited about Hillary at all, but most the attacks on her tend to be bullshit, Marv's hero Glenn Beck not liking her voice or some crap like that.

    Cloverfield

    I got pretty bad motion sickness when I saw this last night. I had to just put my head down and listen for several stretches of the movie, and then I got my wife to drive home because I thought I might barf at any moment.

    Women are stupid because they have higher pitched voices. How dare they.

    Worst President Ever?

    Average Presidential Approval Ratings, FDR through current President # Polls Approve Disapprove Unsure Average Net Approval Kennedy 40 70.8 16.6 12.7 54.2 Eisenhower 119 64.9 21.4 13.8 43.5 Bush I 134 62.1 27.2 10.7 34.9 FDR 97 62.4 31.5 6.2 30.9 Johnson 83 56.1 30.5 13.6 25.6 Clinton 838 56.7 36.3 7.0 20.4 Reagan 136 52.2 37.3 10.5 14.9 Nixon 96 48.0 37.8 14.1 10.2 Bush II 1289 51.5 41.9 6.1 9.6 Ford 36 46.5 36.9 16.7 9.6 Carter 91 46.7 38.4 15.0 8.3 Truman 65 42.0 43.2 14.7 -1.2 This didn't paste well, but this is a table that shows the average of all approval rating polls for all presidents since approval polling began. Oddly, according to this poll, Bush I is the third most popular president of the modern era, easily edging out FDR & Reagan. If you want a better look at the table, go here.

    I didn't think the article was very interesting. He didn't really actually talk about what happened with the phone jamming much at all.
