HELL-OOOOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! [hell-oo!!] [hell-o!]

if you look closely enough, in the bottom photo,
you will see these words scrawled in the wall of this colon:
FLASH: update!
while we're down here in assville,
it seems like a good time to report what i think is
some interesting polling data:
all-time low approval ratings for post-ww2 presidents.
. . . . .
Here are the low points and their dates:
Truman, 22%, 14 Feb 1952 All time low.**
Eisenhower, 48%, 1 Apr 1958
Kennedy, 56%, 17 Sep 1963
Johnson, 35%, 12 Aug 1968
Nixon, 23%, 7 Jan 1974
Ford, 37%, 13 Jan 1975 and 31 Mar 1975
Carter, 28%, 2 Jul 1979
Reagan, 35%, 31 Jan 1983
Bush (GHW), 29%, 2 Aug 1992
Clinton, 37%, 6 Jun 1993
Bush (GW), 37%, 13 Nov 2005
. . .
good news, dubya--you just hit 25%--
and those numbers don't include how i feel!
ironic, what with the dow hitting record highs,
and your numbers are down in the crapper.
geez, folks think you suck more than LBJ, carter, slick willy,
your DAD!
THAT'S gratitude.
repeat after me:
9 eleven
9 eleven
9 eleven
9 eleven
9 eleven
[not working? hmm. always worked before!]
