Asking some people to handle alcohol responsibly only brings a curious look to their face. The highly acclaimed author, Stephen King, wrote about his alcohol addition in his book, "On Writing". On page 95 of the book, King tells this story:

<<"How much do you drink?" the councellor asked.

My friend looked at the councellor with disbelief, "All of it", he said, as if that should have been self-evident.">>

Bush expected to map modest goals for 2008

Modern presidents not seeking re-election often see an uptick in their poll numbers as their tenure draws to a close.

Lyndon B. Johnson's ratings grew to the mid-40s from the high 30s in his final months. Ronald Reagan left office with an approval rating near 60 percent, and Bill Clinton's was over 60 percent.

But an effort has begun to prevent the trend from continuing.

Americans United for Change, a liberal advocacy group, is spending $8.5 million on television advertisements and other efforts promoting the darker side of the Bush presidency. The ads highlight the tenuous economy, high gas prices, the Iraq war and conclude with the message: "The state of the union must change."

More than eight out of 10 Americans think the country is in fair or poor shape, according to a Harris Interactive online survey released last week, up from seven in 10 a year ago.
