Doing the new math....

   ....Thinking about some of the craziness with which we are surrounded
   these days, I came up with the following.
   Polls show that about 1/3^rd of Americans believe that the government
   had something to do with 9/11. Other polls show that Bush's approval
   rating is around 35% to 40%. Ipso facto, if we eliminate the 33% who
   are nuts (and surely don't approve of Bush since they believe he's
   behind 9/11), that means that Bush's approval rating among sane people
   is....let's see....take away two...carry the one....52% to 59%.
   See? Things aren't as bad as they look.
   Now if we can just get the insane people committed so they can't
   vote.......
