Some silly person sent me near the Gallup site. hehe. For the record, kids, you NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER turn me loose near statistics.
Anyway, their most recent “State of the Nation” data shows that 82% of the country has a fair-to-poor amount of confidence in the economy. Check out the dates on their all-time low - when Daddy Bush was running the show, in late August 1992, 90% of the country was pessimistic about the economy. And how about those two samples that tied for highest rating? Summer 2000.
Also, have a look at the “State of the Country” satisfaction rating. 58% are dissatisfied with the direction in which this country is heading - the most dissatisfaction since Carter in July 1979, and we all know how well he did on his re-election bid.
A war with Iraq could provoke new terror attacks. So says Department of Homeland Security.
Oh, and apparently we’re now spying on the undecided member delegations of the U.N. Security Council. Why, pray tell? Read the memo for yourself.
So. Since I’m too pissed off at the entire Bush administration to sleep, maybe I’ll go find something productive to do. (Like check into moving someplace where people are a little more rational.)
