( My thoughts on last night's Heroes... )

And on the subject of the last SGA episode, can I just say one thing? PLEASE STOP SUCKING!!! Seriously, just stop already. One little sequence at the beginning where John clearly gets all jealous about Rodney liking somebody else was just not enough, not nearly enough. These are really the same people who came up with "The Shrine"? I'm finding that very hard to believe.

New poll: Zero percent of Americans think national economy is improving.

A new American Research Group poll shows that “[n]o Americans say that the national economy is getting better,” while 82 percent say it is getting much worse. Only 17 percent approve of President Bush’s handling of the economy, with 78 percent disapproving. Even among Republicans, more disapprove of his economic performance than approve:

Among Republicans, 46% approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 48% disapprove. Among Democrats, 97% disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy and 2% approve. Among independents, 8% approve and 87% disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy.

Somewhat heartening that people have, overall, bought themselves a clue. But how horrifying is it that 46% of Republicans approve of Bush's handling of the economy? Surely not all of them can be Wall Street fat cats or the parasitical lifeforms that attach themselves remora-like to said fat cats. Surely. So how does one explain this approval? Mental defects?
