For months now, especially in recent months, I have been perplexed about Bush's popularity rating. Where, and who, are all these Americans who answer the surveys that now cite Bush's popularity as surpassing JFK's? Do they go to Ohio, where the majority of voters are Republicans? To Texas? I'd like to know.

So I was relieved when I saw Gary Kamiya's response to Bush's recent State of the Union speech. To Mr. Kamiya I say, My sentiments exactly.
