No, not really, Dickey...

You'll notice that I'm not quotin' some blog here... All these statements where I've thrown pwercentages into the mix are done as "generalized statements"... You know, like the 80% and the 90% which to almost any casual reader who isn't into just playin' "ah-hah gottcha" would realize weren't actual percentages but a little "poetic license", something that most folk who do a lot of writtin' use from time to time...

If you don't know the difference then maybe youyou are too literal a person which, if that is the case, would make it very difficult for you to appreciate much more than numbers and no words...

Now, as fir yer poverty questions... If you'd like to start a thread about poverty in the US I'll be more than happy to participate in it... It's not a topic that I know nuthin' about seein' as the first half of my working life was with social programs (GED jail house teacher, drug rehab counselor and finally a social worker in the Richmond wlfare department...

But if you do start a thread, please don't confuse the fact that sometimes I don't get right back to ya as "slinkin' off in the bushes"... I still work full time plus have a farm to run and am in the middle of building a new house so, unlike you and other who have the luxary of livin' in fron of yer compudders, I'm a very busy person... Throw dial up into the mix an', hey, sometimes it will take some time fir me get back to ya'...

Lastly, the 60% disapproval rate, agian isn't exactly 60% in all polls... It's 57% in some 62% in others and like all polls, tends to have peeks and valleys... But the bottom line is that Bush isn't a very popular president and I don't hink that can be refuted...

Now I'll "slink back" to the Kabuta and finish gettin' my half mile drive way graded so I can get a big truck full of windows and doors up it on Monday morning...

...slinkin' off...
