85 Percent Of Public Believes Bush's Approval Rating Fell In Last Month
According to a Gallup public-opinion opinion poll released Monday, a solid 85 percent of the American people strongly believe that the American people no longer strongly believe that Bush is performing effectively as president.

"Due to perceived dissatisfaction over the economy, a strong majority of Americans believe that a strong majority of Americans believe that Bush's reputation has taken a hit," said Paul Mallock, a spokesman for Gallup. "In addition, we discovered a small but growing minority that believes a small but vocal minority is dissatisfied with the way the president is handling the situation in Iraq. The small but growing minority we found believes that a small but vocal group of Americans thinks that reconstruction is messier and more expensive than Bush originally said it would be."

Of the 10,577 U.S. adults polled, 8,891 "strongly agreed" that more Americans "strongly disapproved" of the president's current performance.

12. "I guess that story really made people think about how people think"
"I saw something on CNN about the White House response to a Time magazine story about Congress' reaction to Bush's tax cut," Mammoth Falls, PA, schoolteacher Robert Brinley said. "I guess that story really made people think about how people think."

3. It's a focus group.
Bush believes in dictatorship, as long as he is the dictator.

9. I looked back to see if you looked back,
and you looked back to see if I looked back,
to see if I was looking at you!


Folk, not country. And you and I are soooo old to remember it.

10. The Nobel Committee
made satire irrelevant when it gave the Peace Prize to Kissinger. Chased Tom Lehrer out of satire as no song he did could ever come close.
