Bush Approval Rating Rises Among Mythical Creatures

Narnia meets George Bush
NARNIA - In a surprise to Narnian poll takers, President Bush's job approval rating rose 11 percent last month as an unusually bitter winter storm season sparked memories of the White Queen's tyrannical rule.

"I just had to check myself," centaur Graythorne Silvershoe said. The half man, half horse remembered a far worse winter a few years ago, one that lasted centuries. "I mean, they were feeding horse meat to their wolf soldiers and I'm half horse. George Bush invaded Iraq, but the White Queen butchered my cousin for food. I was like, 'Hello!'"

Among satyrs, nixies, pixies, goblins, fairies, trolls and even minotaurs, the president's job approval rating rose in the poll. Overall, 43 percent of mythical creatures now approve of the job George Bush has done as president. Only among talking beavers did the rating fall substantially, to where it now stands at 15 percent.

"So much talk about Iraq and Afghanistan," said Chester Wigglesbum, "but not a word in months about New Orleans or the levees?" With another hurricane season on the horizon, Wigglesbum, who works in construction, criticized the federal government's efforts to protect the city from the next big storm. "That city still isn't prepared for another hurricane, and I don't see a whole lot of concern from George Bush. Kanye West was right."

Relations between mythical creatures and the White House had been strained since last October when White House Press Secretary Tony Snow referred to Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), Congress' only mythical creature, as an "ogre." Kucinich is a goblin.

The ongoing strain between the White House and Kucinich (D - Goblintown aka Cleveland) does not really stem from WHPS Snow's ongoing inability to identify what fantasy constituency he is addressing. The referal to Kucinich as an Ogre arose while Snow was attempting to address concerns raised by Trolls (Lewis, Rohrbacker and Otter (now Gov. Otter)) about the caucus status of Pixies (Sanders) and how the "Pixie Exceptions" set up in the House Rules could translate to the Senate.

Snow, asked for input by Otter, on behalf of the Trolls about the Pixies led to the Goblin-Ogre confusion.

Hope that helps straighten things out.
