I can't stand it anymore. Stupid CNN polls.
The latest: "Do you think the Harry Potter books encourage an interest in literature among young people?"

Whoever the online poll idiot is at CNN has to go.

1. The other day they had "should NASA launch the shuttle?" or
something like that. Well, of course not, Halliburton should, and then charge a jillion dollars ransom to bring it back down on a cost plus contract.

9. What gets me is that some enterprising young person
must get paid to come up with that nonsense.

(also, I love the monkey cat clip too)

12. Lou just said it was "Do you think Congress is acting in best interest...
of the people?"

They showed the results and Lou said "That's what I like about this audience - they knew the truth."

What haapened to THAT poll?

Also - did anyone see the results.
