Sweet Irony

It's really funny how things work out sometimes. Last month in "What Have You Done For Me Lately", I tried to put some polling data into perspective. We all know that President Bush's approval ratings are low, but I was surprised then to learn that our Democratic controlled Congress had lower numbers than Bush. As it stood last month, Congress had an abysmal approval rating of only 22%. I just saw the latest numbers, and the approval rating of Congress has fallen to around 18.4%. Isn't ironic, don't you think? Their approval rating matches the 18.4 cent bogus "gas tax holiday" Congress floated out there to bring us relief. Well the American people showed you what we thought of that idea. We liked it about 18.4%. With the job that Congress is doing, they should consider themselves fortunate to have that.
