I just read an interesting article from PIPA (PIPA is a joint program of the Center on Policy Attitudes (COPA) and the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM), School of Public Affairs, University of Maryland. ) Take a look at it...it’s a short article but long on substance. And it scares me.

I still find it amazing that Bush supporters can’t seem to consider any other views. Their minds are made up and they don’t want to be bothered by facts.
All of which leads me to post this joke that arrived in my mailbox a few minutes ago…
It seems the 2004 election was so close that the Electoral College vote was tied, and Congress couldn't break the deadlock, and the Supreme Court decided they'd better not make the decision themselves again.
So they sent Bush and Kerry to a frozen lake in northern Wisconsin to have an ice fishing contest. No one was allowed to accompany them, and they were on their honor to let the guy who caught the most fish in five days become president.
On the first day they went out in different directions. Kerry came back with ten fish. Bush caught none.
On the second day, Kerry caught twenty fish and again W came back empty handed.
When Kerry brought back 25 fish on day three and W still hadn't any, Bush got worried and telephoned Cheney for advice. "He's probably cheating," suggested the VP. "I hadn't thought of that," said W. "You're probably right. What do we do?"
Cheney suggested that, instead of going fishing the next day, Bush follow Kerry to see what he was doing.
At the end of day four, Bush called Cheney up and told him, "You were right, Dick, the jerk is cheating!"
"What's he doing?" asked Cheney.
"He's cuttin' holes in the ice!"
No, there is no connection between the article and this joke.
