This is SC. There is no room for science here. Anyway, who needs science when you have opinions.

Congress already has. (Ok, it's approval rating is 12% vs Georgie's 26%, so it's not QUITE bottomed out)

OH, wait... I *almost* forgot.....

This message was brought to you by the Mike "Someone Else Sucks More" show. Tune in next week when Mike compares US torture practices to Botswanan torture practices.

Yeah, sucks when you try to slam someone, and then get shown that YOUR people are just as bad...

Tune in next week, when the libs try to play the race card in comparing preparedness and results between Iowa and New Orleans... oh, wait...that's happening NOW.

No - they don't hate America, just what they feel Bush has done. Some of their points I agree with, and some I don't.

I really believe it's all of the reality shows. How can people sit down and watch that crap.

I think the Grays must have landed and replaced half of the population's brains with eggplants.

Yip. I've been subjected to those more than once. The worst one is when they force you to watch sunsets over the Okavango Delta, and then they insist on serving you cold beer!
