Q: Why does Harry Reid pay kajillions of dollars to idiot consultants when he could just subscribe to T.A.M.S.Y. for free?

A: Just saw the new WaPo/ABC poll, in which Pres. W. hits a new low (as expected).

Meanwhile, Harry Reid's all-night-sleepaway camp resulted in a massive, unprecedented surge of support for congressional Democrats. Oh, no, wait, it didn't at all.

Just 35 percent said they approve of the way congressional Democrats are handling the situation in Iraq, with 63 percent disapproving...

The latest poll was conducted July 18 to 21 among a random sample of 1,125 adults, just after Senate Democrats failed to pass legislation that would set a timetable for the start of troop withdrawals from the war zone...

Congress's approval rating has declined over the past three months because self-identified Democrats have soured in their assessment.

Wow, I can't believe Reid's plan didn't work. Oh, no, wait, I can, and have, and did:

T.A.M.S.Y., Jul 18: One reason — perhaps the biggest reason — Congress' approval ratings are so low is because Americans have the impression no one is getting anything done. Spending all night very dramatically not getting anything done, in the midst of a media frenzy, isn't going to help that.

Yes, it's thanks to brilliant predictions like that that my blog is now read by upwards of several people.

MORE FROM MY CRYSTAL BALL: Sometime in the near future, John Edwards is going to smile so wide, it will expose several of his teeth. I also expect him to reveal his father's profession to have involved some sort of work in a mine. MARK IT DOWN. Meanwhile, Barack Obama will continue to be black.

YO HARRY BABY: Subscribe to T.A.M.S.Y. already. It's totally free, plus you get a shoe phone.¹
