Did George W. Bush Need an Introduction?

A poll taken during the summer of 2004 showed that 29% of the American public were familiar with John Kerry. The same poll showed that 67% were familiar with President Bush. Just who are those 33% who weren't familiar with the President after almost four years? Should they have even be voting?

They probably DIDN'T vote. I mean, you can't believe that 100% of those polled were registered voters. Ex-convicts are stripped of their right to vote. At the rate that we incarcerate in the US, we are bound to continue depleting the voting public at a rapid rate. (Of course, we can't tally in those we put to death.) Many are educated and would just prefer NOT to be familiar with Bush but the larger percentage are poor and many illiterate. They have no faith in their government and remain unaware, some by choice.

Many viewers seeing El Shrubbo during last year's debates thought they had tuned in to Lancelot Link reruns.

How can you possibly avoid seeing photos of Bush, though, even if you don't vote? He's everywhere--in the papers, on the television, in magazines, on T-shirts, on bumper stickers. You'd have to be pretty oblivious not to recognize the guy. Frankly, the fact that 1/3 of Americans don't recognize him scares me to death. I sincerely hope the poll was skewed somehow. Maybe they were only polling five-year-olds?

Blog Summary


  • No-holds-barred commentary (and humor) by Terry Mitchell on a variety of subjects such as current events, society and culture, politics, personal finance, technology, religion, health and well-being, sports, media issues, and trivia.

    His blog entries have been picked up or linked to by mainstream news services like Reuters, CNN, Wall Street Journal Online, USA Today, the Houston Chronicle, the Austin American-Statesman, the Dallas Morning News, the Chicago Sun Times, the Palm Beach Post, CoxOhio.com, Northwest Florida Daily News, ConsumerAffairs.com, WWL-TV, WMUR, and WNBC. In addition to his blogging, he is currently a regular columnist for etalkinghead.com and American Chronicle. He has also written over 100 feature-length articles that have appeared on numerous Web sites.

    In this blog, Terry will never miss an opportunity to assail political correctness or take pot shots at the conventional foolishness.

    In this age of information overload, Terry knows that most people don't have time to read long, rambling blog entries. Therefore, he serves up most of his posts on this blog in small, bite-size portions. You'll appreciate his cut-to-the-chase writing style that gets straight to the point without the unnecessary and boring lead-ins.

    Also, Terry makes following promises in regard to this blog that very few bloggers will make:

    1) Posts which are always family-friendly and free of profanity and vulgarity (despite this fact, this blog is never boring and never shies away from controversy).

    2) A reasonable effort to assure proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure.

    Readers are free to comment, both pro and con, on any post. However, any comments that include profanity or name-calling will be promptly deleted. One who cannot defend his position on a given issue without resorting to such tactics is, at best, too ignorant to adequately defend his position, and at worst, lacking a defensible position altogether.

    For Terry's biography (in his own words), see the "ABOUT" link on the left side of this page, just below his photo.
