Looking around at some of the people on these forums, I would have a hard time concluding that we were even second-rate apes.

From Wiki

Apes are the members of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates, including humans. Currently, there are two families of hominoids:

* the family Hylobatidae consists of 4 genera and 12 species of gibbons, including the Lar Gibbon and the Siamang, collectively known as the "lesser apes"
* the family Hominidae consisting of gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and humans, collectively known as the "great apes".

What's the US aggregate trade deficit currently? 617.7 billion $ apparently - last year. That's a (record breaking) 24% increase over 2003.

Looks like Bush is doing for the US economy what he did for Arbusto energy!
