I haven't seen this diaried yet:
ARG Poll August 22

George W. Bush's overall job approval ratings have dropped from a month ago even as Americans who approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president are turning more optimistic about their personal financial situations according to the latest survey from the American Research Group. Among all Americans, 36% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 58% disapprove. When it comes to Bush's handling of the economy, 33% approve and 62% disapprove.

His ARG approval rating last month was 42%, so even if this is an outlier, he's lost a lot of ground.

Sorry if this has already been noted!

You probably wonder where all that Homeland Security funding is going, since it's not going to secure our ports or the cargo holds of airplanes. Well, here's an example of your tax dollars in action: An innocent author, researching a novel, is raided by the feds.

Recently an author has come forward to describe her experience of the Patriot Act. She was researching a novel with a plot about the theft of antiquities financing terrorism. She used the Internet and her local library to find research material. Then in the middle of the night, her home was invaded by federal agents. She was confined for hours and her computer and other material was confiscated.

Here's a link to an interview with the author. (Scroll down to the item "Patriot Act Hits Close to Home".)
