699 Days

A Monday holiday is always nice, and earlier this week I wanted to write something about President’s Day. But given our current President, who will certainly be remembered by history as among the Worst Ever, President’s Day just left me with a low-feeling for how much longer he’ll hold the office.

But today, I noticed on the Bush Countdown Calendar widget on my Mac’s Dashboard that a milestone has been passed. At the moment it shows 699 Days and just under three hours remaining in Bush’s time in office. I think I need to get myself the keychain version of this countdown until 1/20/09, a day that approaches slowly, but can’t come soon enough.
