It’s May Day — and the mission still isn’t accomplished
May Day, Beltane, time to wind the colored ribbons around the Maypole or, in George W. Bush’s case perhaps, to wind the Mission Accomplished banner around the tower of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln. Five years ago today, Mr. Bush declared major combat operations over in Iraq. Today, I suspect he’d like to do a little witchy nose-twitching and make that banner disappear. Said Dana Perino, “President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said ‘mission accomplished’ for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission.” Load of text for one banner.

Well Earned! (Cut from CNN Web Site)
A new poll suggests President Bush is the most unpopular president in modern American history. The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey indicates that 71 percent of the American public disapprove of how Bush is handling his job. The poll also indicates that support for the war in Iraq has never been lower.

Agreed, Max! Charlie Hughes sent a reminder of this classic headline at The Onion from January 2001. Sometimes satire is prophetic:
” Bush: ‘Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over’
