:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 10.21.2005 ::
:: "Press release: You Can Bet on President Bush's Approval Rating" ::
PinnacleSports.com Opens Wagering on Gallup Poll Results
WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of his
nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court and the Karl Rove controversy
President Bush's approval rating has plummeted to the lowest level of his
presidency. Combined with the situation in Iraq, the hurricanes and
unprecedented gas prices, the latest polls show only 39 percent of U.S. adults
approving of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as Commander in Chief.
With more Americans questioning how he's leading the nation,
PinnacleSports.com today became the first sportsbook in the world to release
betting lines on the approval rating of President George W. Bush on a number
of key issues.
The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports.com has
created betting options on what percent of U.S. citizens will approve of
President Bush's handling of his job, the Iraq situation and the economy,
according to the first Gallup Polls conducted in November and December 2005.
