A U.S. Web site said the "Bush Out of Office Countdown 2008" desk calendar has become their second-most popular humor calendar.

Calendars.com, the largest seller of calendars on the Internet and at retail kiosks, said the Bush calendar is second only to "The Far Side Scared Silly 2008 Wall Calendar" in terms of sales, USA Today reported Friday.

"They're edgy and a way to mark the days, so it's a perfect tie-in," said Hillel Levin, general manager at Calendars.com. "The intensity of dislike (for Bush) is driving these sales."

Levin said calendars poking fun at the commander in chief were popular last year but their popularity is soaring -- along with their quantity.

"It's become a category unto itself," Levin said.

He told USA Today there were no such calendars during the administrations of other recent presidents, including Bill Clinton and Bush's father, George H.W. Bush.
