"Shrub" is at it again - or still?
Yes ... it's been a while since I've posted anything ... but hasn't been much to write about lately (or maybe I've been too lazy?).
"Shrub" was on TV a couple nights ago, but couldn't bring myself to watch or listen to it ... figuring most of it would be half-truths or flat out BS ... the same stuff we heard on the campaign trail. I just don't feel like getting upset from yelling "liar" at the TV every 10 seconds!
Of course, my suspicions were correct. Received an e-mail from Factcheck.org last night, saying:
"In his State of the Union Address, President Bush said again that the Social Security system is headed for "bankruptcy," a term that could give the wrong idea. Actually, even if it goes "bankrupt" a few decades from now, the system would still be able to pay about three-quarters of the benefits now promised."
I find it funny that "Shrub" has to constantly resort to scare tactics and lies to get his message across! I guess otherwise, no one would take him seriously ... instead of half the people he's got fooled now.

OH ... and one more thing. Last week, ABC News reported, that "Shrub's" current approval rating was the lowest of any incumbent President. OK ... if he's doing such a lousy job ... why is he still there? Makes no sense ... but I guess, that doesn't surprise me.
In a survey last year, 74 percent of American adults say they have more common sense than most people, and 43 percent say they have "a lot more" common sense than most people. But, according to the survey, 7 percent of Americans are said to have Common Sense Perception, or CSP - an uncanny and uncommon level of common sense.
Take the quiz and see how you do!
