If it isn't enough that the guy is hated by half of America, 90% of the rest of the world and even his dogs don't like him, not to mention that even his pre-election supporters are leaving his side? I am thinking that being a 2 out of 10 in the eyes of women is right up there with "I don't want to ruin our friendship" and "I will be busy washing my hair that night". On other websites it is being suggested that this article is proof of why there will never be a "Lewinski" scandal coming out of bush's closet. I, on the other hand, believe that it lends further creedence to the possibility that we may yet find Jeff Gannon's "blew stained dress" hanging in bush's closet.

Bush gets low marks for sex appeal
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - He may be leader of the free world and Time magazine's 'Person of the Year,' but a new international survey of women makes certain that U.S. President George W. Bush is far from being the sexiest man alive.
In a recent online poll conducted by Esquire magazine, 11,000 women in 15 countries were asked to rate Bush's sex appeal on a scale of one to 10, and America's commander-in-chief failed to register much more than a two.
Women in Australia, Germany and the Netherlands were the harshest judges of George W.'s sexual allure, giving him an average rating of 1.4 each, Esquire said in its survey released earlier this week.
By contrast, Indonesian women were the most generous, giving Bush an average score of 2.2; American women found their president slightly less appealing, rating him a 2.1
Other countries contributing to the survey included Austria, Brazil, Britain, Israel, Italy, the Philippines, Russia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
Bush has fared far better in other recent magazine rankings, having been named Time's 'Person of the Year' in December and making that magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people this week.
But Esquire magazine's 'Global Survey of the Female Species' was not confined to questions about Bush.
Eighty-three percent of Italian women said they preferred sex to cuddling, for instance, compared to 63 percent of American women.
And while American women said it takes an average of 5.5 dates with a man before having sex with him, Swedish women said they would sleep with a man after 4 dates, the survey showed."
Isn't it great that fluff pieces like this get reported daily, yet we see no REAL NEWS being reported in American media anymore?

bush, AOL and Censorship
For over 10 years I have used AOL as an ISP or as my favorite place to post messages on their boards. I remember paying a nickel per minute for access in the early days. Did I ever run up some bills back then! Sadly, today was the last day that my former screen name "m16eib" posted on AOL. Why, you ask?
Well, it all started several months ago when AOL implemented a policy of deleting messages on boards that it deemed as disruptive to the boards. AOL has changed it's policy from simply deleting offensive posts (IE: racist posts, name calling, swearing, and other "Terms Of Service" (TOS) violations) to a policy of deleting any posts it wants to.
Post an anti-bush news story - DELETED.
Post your thoughts about the GOP - DELETED.
Post anything that challenged one's mind to think - DELETED.
The new position of the AOL "Community Action Team" (CAT) is constantly being challenged by the AOL clients that are MAD AS HECK from post deletions and/or getting kicked off of AOL for expressing their oppinions and trying to enjoy freedom of speech. Today I suffered that fate for the last time. This censorship by Corporate America against any and all views that are against them and the bush administration that supports them through billion dollar Corporate Welfare is a sad statement on American society and politics in particular. I will still keep in contact with my buddies on AOL, but I will no longer attempt to feed the AOL beast that bites my hand.
The people on all sides of the issues on AOL message boards are all aghast at the censorship that is taking place. There are moderates from the left and right that are suffering this fate. The only faction that seems to enjoy immunity from the post deletions and being kicked off of AOL are the hard right wing supporters of failed bush policies. Why is that? I wonder?
This will be a topic that I will return to occasionally, but it will not be the only topic I will post on. It is just the one that I am most pissed about right now. For the time being I will stick to less volatile issues, like politics... lol
