CNN's polls SUCK!!!

This morning's poll was something along the lines of: What did you think of the president's speech? A valid plan or just more spin?

That one stayed up for, oh, about three hours as best as I could tell.

They replaced that one with: Have you ever seen a dog uglier than the now-deceased Sam? Yes or no?

:shrug:

Boy, they've really got their finger on the pulse of American politics, don't they? :puke:

I refuse to vote in their standard puff polls like they've got up there now. I wish everyone would. I'd love to see some of their more irrelevant polls get ignored that way, until they finally get the message...

2. "Have you ever seen a chimp uglier than the one now blathering?"

Maybe they could combine the two that way... let me guess, "just more spin" was winning big right before the purely coincidental switch to the ugly dog poll... :sarcasm:

10. I'll bet you're right. Maybe as a protest, some irritate person posted

the stupidest, fluffiest, most irrelevant poll they could find.

It's too obviously dopey.

4. After the poll goes south, they take it down.

They can't give junior any cheerie news to make him smile these days.

The polls that do favor junior will stay up days. But that's a rarity.

5. Jeez! they must be reading my blog.

I finally gave in and blogged about the dead dog today because 1) I got a Brazilian email requests to, and 2) because I was learning how to embed a video into my blog in one easy step-- instead of converting, uploading and pasting the code.

Note: I know CNN doesn't read my blog; it's just a coincidence.
