Uncomfortable with my trans-Atlanticisms? That's OK. We all are who we are.

I think last time you decided to tweak me in a friendly fashion, you were unhappy with my French stuff. But you forget, the Normans were Anglo Saxon too, and they spoke French. And the Normans did a French language dump into the Enlish language, and made it a somewhat close question whether English is a Teutonic or Romance language (in the law, the French terminology rules, and we even have both a Norman and a Parisian variant in some cases (guaranty versus guarantee). And so it goes.

Another poll that leaves one confused.

Bush had a 50% approval rating in the 2/12-2/15 poll, but was trailing Kerry by 5% among registered voters (48%-43%).

Now, Bush has a 47% approval rating (2/24-2/27), but trails Kerry by just 1% (47%-46%) among registered voters.

And if Bush/Cheney is leading Kerry/Edwards among independent voters, there is no way Bush/Cheney is trailing Kerry/Edwards by 8%.
