UPDATE! This post has been updated! First off, Norah O'Donnell is a moron. Evidence: Second, the Democratic machine in Washington State successfully stole the 2004 gubernatorial election there from Republican Dino Rossi. The state has settled intrepid blogger/citizen Stefan Sharkansky's public records lawsuit for $250,000. The lawsuit stemmed from my December 2004 request for a […]

CNN's Bill Schneider suggests that Barack Obama is the "superpresident." He comes to this conclusion after noting: According to Gallup polling examining past presidents' job approval, that's similar to where the last six elected presidents stood after 100 days.
