I've got a new electric shaver, I am teh happy. (yes, small things please me)

Good shavers are always nice. It's also one of those things where it's a good idea to go more expensive.

I've no clue how much mine cost...I should look it up, its a birthay present.


In other news- wow.

I'm watching the football today on some American channel.
The halftime discussion is by Warren Barton and some Yank host- damn he sucks. He doesn't say Portsmouth, oh no, he tries to be cool and use their nickname Pompy....except he always pronounces it like poppy....

Poll: Hillary Clinton more popular than Barack Obama
Posted: October 15th, 2009 11:49 AM ET

From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser


Poll: Hillary Clinton more popular than Barack Obama.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – She lost to him in last year's battle for the Democratic presidential nomination, but a new national poll suggests that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now more popular than her boss, President Barack Obama.

A Gallup survey released Thursday indicates that 62 percent of Americans hold a favorable view of Clinton, 6 points higher than the 56 percent who view Obama favorably.

According to the poll, the president's favorable rating has dropped 22 points from its inaugural-month level in January. The survey indicates that Clinton's favorable rating has only edged down 3 points since the beginning of the year.

Nine in 10 Democrats questioned in the poll view both Obama and Clinton favorably, with independents split. Fewer than one in five Republicans hold a favorable opinion of the president, while 35 percent see Clinton in a positive light. According to the survey, Obama has dropped 23 points with independents and 41 points with Republicans since January, while Clinton has dropped just 6 points among independents and stayed even among Republicans since the start of 2009.


"This is a common pattern in recent polling," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice consistently had higher favorable ratings than George W. Bush. Madeleine Albright was more popular than Bill Clinton. Secretaries of State don't get blamed for economic problems or unpopular domestic policies, and they often don't get the same share of the blame as the commander-in-Chief for international slip-ups either."

The Gallup telephone poll of 1,013 adults was conducted October 1-4, before the president was named winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Time for a coup!

I've always said I couldn't survive as a Jew or a Muslim, pork is just too sublime.

That's funny as balls, but I'll be damned if that's going to show up anywhere on my hard drive other than in the temp cache.

Heh, I'm tempted to make it my screensaver. That'll puzzle any snoopy relations that drop by.
