***Hi Kitkat - congratulations on toaster win - did not get others done today - where the day went I do not know but am still clearing up and doing some painting.***
Thanks, Snugs. Works for me. If you don’t mind, I’ll wait til tomorrow to choose a picture. Getting so tired, I’m about to fall over, and I always find it’s a good idea to be standing next to the bed when I fall.
Ooh! Loverly graphic. Thank you.

Relative to the latter, my favorite former quarterback agrees:

What was your favorite part of the Easter Egg Roll? Did you have fun?
Troy Aikman
My favorite part was getting the opportunity to meet The President and First Lady. I also got to meet former President George H. Bush and his wife Barbara. What a genuine family.

DOES EVERYONE HATE PRESIDENT BUSH?
Some certainly do. And one could easily get the impression that the Bush-haters have become a majority. To be sure, President Bush’s approval ratings continue to languish in the 30s. But Presidential approval ratings are a very blunt instrument, and these data from the Tarrance Group suggest that the full story is more balanced.
Most striking to me is that 56% of respondents approve of the President personally. This seems remarkable in view of the endless, savage attacks that have been launched on Bush by the Left and repeated, often uncritically, in the mainstream media.
Beyond that, a number of President Bush’s policies are popular: reauthorizing the Protect America Act (70%), a budget that is lower than proposed by Democrats and that contains no tax increases (65%), the recently-enacted stimulus package (64%), the surge in Iraq (52%), and others. In addition, 73% agree with the proposition that the Bush administration went on the offensive against terrorists, and 65% say that it has kept Americans safe from terrorist attacks.
For many reasons, 2008 will be a challenging year for Republicans. But these data indicate that the Democrats may be mistaken if they think that “tarring” any Republican candidate by association with the President is a sure-fire strategy.

MY FAVORITE EXCERPT FROM THE POLL:
With the 2008 Presidential Election quickly approaching, voters will be making assessments of President Bush and his time in office. There certainly is anxiousness among voters about their current situation, especially Iraq and the economy. However, a majority of voters like President Bush personally and voters provide a remarkably positive judgment about both his recent initiatives and his overall time in office. There remains the strong opportunity for the political environment to make a marked improvement for President Bush and for Republican candidates.
