A Good Robert Novak Piece! This piece talks about how the stupid policies of Dubya's administration has forced up oil prices, which, in turn, has badly hurt the economy. He does drop the ball in the last paragraph, "Instead, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer called for passage of the Bush-backed energy bill to expand domestic oil drilling -- including the proposal for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). That is not going happen in the Democratic-controlled Senate, leaving Republicans to hope that the worried airline company executive is not much of a political prophet."  If drilling in the ANWR was passed tomorrow, it would be years before it would produce any oil. This will be my last post until at least Monday night. 7:05:55 AM    comment []

Clinton's approval rating versus Dubya's While I was looking for some polls of Clinton's approval rating split by party, I found a link to a Gallup story (which you have to pay to see) that stated that in April, 2002 Clinton's retrospective job approval rate was at 51%. I wonder if currently Clinton's retrospective job approval rate is near or better than Dubya's. 7:05:05 AM    comment []
