Chart

No idea whether this chart is genuine, or accurate, or whether a statistician would find it significant, but some other people think it shows that whenever Bush’s approval ratings drop, another terror warning is issued, causing the approval rating to improve a little. Not sure if those little blips are statistically significant. What I find interesting is the fact that his approval rating is now down below what it was prior to 11 September 2001, which if you’re into conspiracy theories, or just generally wacko, or cynical could lead you to conclude we’re late for another major terrorist strike.

  1. The terrorist strike is underway. It’s the attack on the US electorate led by the Republican Swift Boat Retirees for Bush, the Fox Network for Bush, the Warbloggers for Bush, the Gun Dealers for Bush, and so on. Their goal is to make just enough voters terrified of change that they will vote Bush back in for another round of US self-dismantlement.

    Wow, eeksypeeksy, do you really think so little of the intellectual and analytical abilities of the electorate as that? That’s quite an insult. All you’re really doing, though, is showing how narrow your mind is. I’m a Democrat and I own a gun, I read the warbloggers, and I am perfectly capable of assessing the bias while picking out the facts, and then making up my own mind.

  3. There has been a lot of talk lately that the US made a mistake in revealing a Pakistani source of intelligence against Al Qaeda to justify the latest “terror alert”. http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/ap20040810_725.html

    Here is a bit from ‘Bush Team on Defensive Over al-Qaeda Leak

  4. I thought that we were preparing for another stike the day before the election, and the true conspiracy theory was that they’ll take Osama out of the underground cell they’ve been hiding him in for months and months in late October.

    Or, maybe I’ve got my theories mixed…
