Heads up: #9 link is the same as #8
Thanks for the heads-up, Luke! #9 has been fixed.
Nikon F. I got mine 46 years ago in a PX in Korea and it still works. I wonder how many other items introduced that long ago still function?
As for that Zogby poll on Obama's approval rating: Nate Silver of Five Thirty Eight explains why Zogby is the least credible pollster in the world.
Now consider that: Nate Silver, who has a fantastic track record, calls Zogby the "Worst Pollster in the World" and proves it by simply analyzing Zogby's poor track record.
Now let's take the CBS Poll, which shows a 64-20 approve/disapprove ratio for Obama, net of +6 over the last week. Gallup has Obama at 63/27, a net of +1 over the last week.
People appreciate the very thoughtful and active approach that Pres Obama is taking; they appreciate the vastly improved competency over the previous administration, and they also realize that the opposition is devoid of alternative ideas.
