It's All Up to Pennsylvania:

Gail Collins points out a little history on Pennsylvania and the presidency today:

For all its awesomeness, Pennsylvania’s only contribution to the presidency was James Buchanan. He was in office at the onset of the Civil War and is celebrated mainly for holding down the bottom of the Worst Presidents lists. Historians often describe him as “our only bachelor president,” although Buchanan did live for many years with William King of Alabama, who later became our only bachelor vice president. We do not hear much speculation about whether Buchanan was our first gay president because, frankly, most gay Americans would prefer to start with somebody who didn’t preside over the secession of the South.

That's just too good to pass up.

More Good News on the Economy:

The nation lost 63,000 jobs last month. President Bush, according to The Washington Post, is now concerned about the economy even though he continues to be unaware of the cost of living for real Americans. But the president is very pleased with himself over his tax rebate plan. After all, Americans are most likely to put those rebates directly into the hands of the bankers and oil companies who bought little Bush the presidency.

By the way, the nation actually lost 91,000 jobs last month. However, the government created 38,000 new jobs (to be paid for by taxpayers), and that provides for the difference in statistics. Uh, government jobs, while perhaps necessary, are questionable in terms of real productivity.

Back in March of 2006, Bush had this to say, "After the bombing, most Iraqis saw what the perpetuators of this attack were trying to do." No one has quite yet seen what Bush was trying to do.
