On Polls

I don't think polls used to be so bad. But now I'm pretty sure they are like Jerry Seinfeld in the episode where Kathy Griffin has her one woman show i.e. the devil. Nobody knows if any of these polls are real on CNN, ESPN, Fox, Bravo, TLC, whatever. Plus everybody polls everything now. Politicians and their minions poll people on the candidates' wardrobes. You can poll a Division III hockey game on your cell phone right now if you wanted to from anywhere in the country. What do people in Hawaii know about Division III hockey? Besides the fact that it is not for them. I can even vote in polls from my Nintendo Wii. Asinine. So in the spirit of poll bashing I've started my own poll on the left side of the page. My attempt is to poll foolishness at its finest, asininity abound, and all kinds of alliterative, important sounding words. Think of it as that section of Sports Illustrated, Sign of the Apocalypse. Poll on.
