500 days

As of today, there are 500 days left until the end of George W. Bush's presidency.

That's 71 weeks and two days plus what's left of today.

I'm tempted to say that the last couple of days won't count, but Bill Clinton made a lot of money selling pardons before leaving office. On his last day, he issued 141 pardons and 36 commutations, thereby undoing (in my humble opinion) whatever claim to greatness he might otherwise be able to make.

I only wish that Dubya had a claim to greatness . . . any claim, any sort of claim at all. He does not.
