Poll my middle finger

[redwoodpecker]

I hate polling, I don't talk about it much, though I'm sure there's probably a blog somewhere about it in my archives.  Polling is essentially a tool which both allows politicians to scientifically tailor their lies for their specific audiences, and additionally can be manipulated to support a candidate or issue based on the polling company and questions asked.  I found a couple of short videos, the first is a Penn & Teller bit on the subject, and the second will be especially relevant to anyone who saw the recent fox news text message polls showing Ron Paul won the debate.
