I'm not a forecaster

New item: Concern about the economy is the number one issue on the minds of Americans, according to the latest Gallup Poll.


A reporter asked President Bush, because of this, when he thought the economy would turn around. He replied, "I don't know, I'm not a forecaster."


Undeniably true. Nor a president either.


I was pleased to see, however, that Bush correctly identified our neighbors to the north and our neighbors to the south as Canadians and Mexicans respectively.


Baby steps are good.
