Bush

I no longer refer to Bush's "Approval Rating".
Now I refer to it as Bush's "Pity Factor".

Think about it. After 9/11 everyone kept saying that his 90% approval rating was inflated due to terror attacks; that the "numbers were soft" because of the war(s). Now I realize that what that means is the right term is Pity Factor.

Given the spelling of approval as "approvel", I have a feeling that it may have been intentional. *grin*

I absolutely LOVE your icon, btw! I want to steal the idea next October! :-)

He stole the idea from me. :-)

Oh, uh, probably so.

Please steal the idea! I stole it from somebody else at the pumpkin-carving party I was at.
