Single What? Female...

WHAT? I can't hear you!!!

This is essentially what George and his people have been saying for months (years) and we got further proof of this today with the latest NY Times/CBS poll. Bush's approval rating has plummeted to 42%. And as he goes around continuing his grave attempts at pushing his Social Security plan, 45% of folks polled said that the more they learn about his plan, the less they like it. In the meantime:
"Nicolle Devenish, White House communications director, dismissed the significance of the poll, saying Mr. Bush believes that following polls is equivalent to a dog chasing its tail. "We have advanced a broad agenda, and will continue to advocate the people's priorities," she said."

Um...cause this poll can't possibly represent the people...

And speaking of the people being misrepresented, have you been to Ohio lately?...

And speaking of Social Security (which, according to said irrelevant poll, didn't make even the top 6 of the people's concerns) I think a rumble's gonna break out in the House...

IN THE MEANTIME...Remember Paul Cooney, the guy who altered government environmental reports in order to talk down the effects of Global Warming? Well, he may have moved on to Exxon, but there are still plenty of other administration toadies who have put pressure on G-8 reps, having them "delete language that would detail how rising temperatures are affecting the globe, set ambitious targets to cut carbon dioxide emissions and set stricter environmental standards for World Bank-funded power projects..." Okay, we got a stolen election, we got Downing Street, we got pressuring G-8 negotiators to alter their information, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE CONGRESSIONAL IMPEACHMENT PEOPLE?!?! BILL CLINTON GETS A BLOW JOB AND WE GOT PEOPLE UP IN ARMS but NOW? What the hell more to we need? TAPES?!?!?

At least the Senate has got something to say about the administration's energy bill...

And please send some love to John Conyers as yesterday he had his say and presented petitions including 560,000 signatures of Americans who want more info on the Downing Street Minutes:

"Rep. John Conyers of Michigan and a half-dozen other members of Congress were stopped at the White House gate when they hand-delivered petitions signed by 560,000 Americans who want Bush to provide a detailed response to the so-called Downing Street memo."

stopped..at..the gate...it's not like this is some freak on the street. This is a respected Congressman with a valid inquiry and he was stopped at the gate. perhaps you ought to send a note tot he White House, too.

All right, time to actually do my job for the last hour of this summer Friday, but not before I say KEEP E-MAILING!! E-mail, call, write, fax your friends and family, the press and your Congressfolk and let them know that you are paying attention!!! and as always pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace --Alex
