Another "fair and balanced" headline from CNN:
"Bush approval holds steady" http://www.cnn.com

Hell, sounds like the jug-eared little prick must be as popular as Elvis! Of course, upon actually reading the story one learns that nearly two thirds of the American people disapprove of the job that the drunken frat boy is doing in office, and an equal number believe that his policies are taking this country in the wrong direction; but what's a little sophistry among friends?

3. Chief Justice Rehnquist's Condition Remains Stable.
I guess that's how CNN would put a positive spin on a story about the late, not great, Chief Justice.

What assclowns.

4. Well, if you click on the actual story...
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/09/13/bush.poll/index.html

it's pretty grim for any loyal Bushies who might be hoping for some good news. And check out that sad-sack portrait? The guy looks like he's going to cry.

I agree, the headline is misleading, but hey, it got your attention, right?

5. Genetic testing needed for those still approving *
Something should be done to isolate the stupidity gene and find a cure for it.
