And Then Cameth The Flood
The D.C. area is slightly...underwater still. I just spent today ripping up my drenched carpet, which entailed moving a room-length bookshelf across the basement (among other things).

New Time Poll: Bush Popularity Sags Amid Iraq War Unpopularity
If a new Time Magazine poll is accurate, the talk about a political resurgence for President George W. Bush may be premature:A spate of good news at home and abroad has so far failed to boost how Americans feel about President Bush's job performance.

Only 33% of … [Read more...] about New Time Poll: Bush Popularity Sags Amid Iraq War Unpopularity
