“Would You Like to Take a Survey?”

Reha and I were discussing John McCain and how he seems to be fairly inoffensive, even for a Republican. I mentioned that though he can be kind of crazy, he’s at least got he’s head screwed on straight as far campaign finance reform and being a true fiscal conservative.

“He’s probably running in 2008, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he won the Republican nomination. In fact he was doing splendidly in 2000 before Karl Rove and his operatives supposedly went all Darth Vader on him in the South Carolina primary."

“What happened?” And we started talking about push polls and other evil tricks.

“What’s a push poll?”

“Well, say you call up a bunch of people in the guise of asking a legitimate poll, but instead ask them questions like, ‘If it came to light that candidate X ate a baby for breakfast every morning, would you be more likely or less likely to vote for him?’”

Jonah then decides to add his two cents to the conversation, “That’d be less likely, Dad.”

Thanks, Jonah.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
