According to a poll released today, if the world were to vote for the POTUS Kerry'd do a'ight. As in landslide. The only countries of the 35 surveyed that would elect Bush are Poland, Nigeria, and the Philippines. Another wise majority: the 70% of Americans who worry that the global dislike of Bush and his policies might actually bite us. [Independent and BBC Radio]

You'll note that Ireland's not on that list. Coulda guessed, since their musicians tend to err on the side of less needless violence. Hear Bush sing a cover of U2's 'Sunday Bloody Sunday'.

(Apologies for the imperative sense usage in that last sentence. Second nature from authoring so much Bus propaganda. A bow of sorry is also due to all the sensational, patient people in my backlog of email - I'm almost done with August or whatever month it was we just finished, and still working my way closer to the present day. Yes, I do suck. I hope to post words about what I'm doing from dawn until late, because it's exciting - more exciting even than doing the Lynndie! But not write now. (heh) Eyelid issues. Seems they've been weighted.)
