Buyers remorse is a bitch



<---- This man has no idea what he is doing








Via Eschaton, I see that Bush the Decider is at 32% approval in the latest CNN poll. I cannot tell you how good this makes me feel. It's like that first sip of coffee on a cold Saturday morning. So what you needed that you have to say, "umm, I needed that". Schadenfreude can be a wonderful thing (I love the old joke that it took the Germans to come up with a word for pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others), but the knowledge that the policies that got him to these Nixonian levels crushes that pleasure. The policies have killed thousands of Americans, untold numbers of Iraqis, destroyed fiscal sanity in Congress, a major American city, and our hard-earned reputation. Knowledge of that is a buzzkill for anything.

So screw the Chimp. He even makes me feel bad for feeling good.

I have to say it was shocking to wake up this morning and find the SHRUB front and center on your page. Don't feel to bad....you didn't make the purchase!-P

I have to disagree with you here Joe. Its only schadenfreude when you aren't getting screwed in the ear too. In this case, its more of a wallowing type feeling, capped off with a little bit of "f-u" going skywards. Kind of like having it rain after your roof collapses. You sit among the ruins getting even more ruined and send your mister digit handpuppet towards heaven because, well, it just can't get any worse.

unrelated, we are coming your way soon, for a beach jaunt. dare i hope for an opportunity to see the perfect hokiespawn in person?
