AIM Express Says: "Bush At All-Time Low..."
I logged on to AIM Express today and they flashed that annoying pop-up with today's little news nugget on the 'screen.' Usually it's something about Brittany or a kidnapped college student. Today, it shows a big picture of a smiling Bush giving a thumbs-up with the strangely incongruous captions: "Bush's Approval At All-Time Low," followed by the bullet points, "Grisly Americans' Deaths Hurt Him" and "Photos of Bush's 'Iraq Vietnam.'"

Wow, talk about your trickle-up. Now even AOHell has turned on him.

I got pissed off just looking at his smug smirkin' face next to those captions. "Grisly Americans' Deaths Hurt Him"? I'll tell you what, they're not hurting him anywhere near as much as they're going to hurt the rest of the troops who are over there.

#@$!,

1. It's now officially Iraqnam.
The flare ups since last week have confirmed it. Sad.

7. politicizing our military?
I guess they're moving into the next chapter of rove's re-appointment plan. Publicly comfort the families so that the media forgets that they've been ignored up until now....

9. crocodile tears, or...
Is that like when a vampire can't enter a church or dogs barking at ghosts? The pure goodness of a baby causing tears in a purely evil man.

3. Bush is hurting himself.
It's absurd to blame dead American soldiers on his downfall. He's the one who killed the soldiers(indirectly)...blame him.

8. AOL Sucks, but...
Glad to see they are even putting that kind of stuff up. My favorite from them? They ran one of those stories on the pop-up about how to annoy telemarketers and screw with them. And since I work for a company that makes calls to try to sell things for AOL (I know, I know, don't hate me, please), it was just a tad bit ironic. You'd think they wouldn't post stuff about how to hurt their own busincess, no? Guess not!

I'll have to run the AIM pop-up and see if that story is still up!
