Now the great revulsion has arrived. The latest Fox News poll puts Mr. Bush's approval at only 33 percent. According to the polling firm Survey USA, there are only four states in which significantly more people approve of Mr. Bush's performance than disapprove: Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nebraska. If we define red states as states where the public supports Mr. Bush, Red America now has a smaller population than New York City.

I really, really hope he is right. I have felt very ostracized from my country.

One of my German friends called me yesterday. She told me that she had gotten into a big fight with an American about Bush. He was a casual 'friend' that she sees when he's in London visiting friends or a cousin who lives there. When he brought up Bush and the war, she told him that she rather not get into it. Sensing she was opposed to the war and Bush, he kept pushing. When she told him what she thought, he told her to shut her "German mouth". Repeatedly, he referenced her German mouth. It got so bad she got up and left. She was nearly crying telling me what happened. He has since text messaged her, apologizing for his behavior. However, she will not see him.

The guy is 31 and from Massachusetts..........a Boston Brahmin and a graduate of Harvard. I want to believe Krugman but then there is this guy..................
