Presidential Vote
I saw a thing on ABC News about a candidate picker so I did it and it said that I should choose Mike Huckabee as the candidate that I support. I don't know if I agree with how they put the thing together, but it was kind of fun to go through anyway.

Funny News Today
There are two stories in the news today that struck me as funny.
The first one is that Dick Cheney and Barack Obama are distant cousins. How funny is that? We really are a melting pot in the good ole USA.
The second one is that both W and Congress have hideous approval ratings. Here are excerpts from the Reuters story:
Bush's job approval rating fell to 24 percent from last month's record low for a Zogby poll of 29 percent. A paltry 11 percent gave Congress a positive grade, tying last month's record low.
"There is a real question among Americans now about how relevant this government is to them," pollster John Zogby said. "They tell us they want action on health care, education, the war and immigration, but they don't believe they are going to get it."
And I hope that this part is true, but won't likely really have any impact on the final outcome of the election.
The bleak mood could present problems for both parties heading into the November 2008 election campaign, Zogby said.
"Voter turnout could still be high next year, but the mood has turned against incumbents and into a 'throw the bums out' mindset," Zogby said.
