Tonight at 8, meet at Free State, in the con­fer­ence room upstairs. Rich Min­der of the Lawrence School Board will be in around 8:30 to chat and drink lib­er­al­ly.

And here’s a cheery thought until then. SUSA polled all 50 states, and found that Bush’s approval rat­ing clears 50% in only 6 states, and the dif­fer­ence between approval and dis­ap­proval is greater than or equal to zero in only 8.

He’s 15th most pop­u­lar in Kansas, where 43% approve and 54% disapprove. 

Ouch.
