Slate notices that as President Bush's travails in offce have mounted, his stippled Wall Street Journal portrait has grown more sullen.

I don't care who you are. That's funny.

It would be an interesting experiement to give a random group of readers the same newspaper article about Bush but with different versions of the portrait.

I wonder if people who read the story with the "smiling George" would say it was more favorable to Bush than those who read it with the frowning version?

A very hopeful trend. With luck, in a few months his portrait will include a string of numbers underneath.

1. I'm fooling the American public.
2. I think the American public is catching on.
3. I can't fool many of them anymore.

Dan, at this point, I think he could be smiling like Martha Raye and it wouldn't do any good.

I believe it's actually:

3. Can't be fooled again.
