Blog Is Not A Four Letter Word

According to a new NY Times poll (scroll down), all this blogging might actually be good for politics, surprise surprise. Me, I thought it was going to cause the apocalypse. Hey, maybe it still could. So maybe it could bring the four horsemen - but it would still be good for politics. Oh, and listen to the NPR interview - fascinating stuff, if you're a geek like me.

Also of note is another snippet about the whether poll results can change stock numbers. I mean, duh, everything changes stock numbers. Haven't these guys ever heard of the chaos theory? What? Chaos theory is so 1992 you say? Well, whatever, I watched Jurassic Park and skimmed the book, so I think I'm pretty qualified to talk about it.

And last but not least is an absolutely fantastic and completely must-read article (keep in mind that it's written by Chris Mooney, who as usual has an axe to grind) about the sort of "creative polling" I've been trying to tell you all about. It'll tell you why you can't trust the polls, and might as well not even check them at all.

Anyway, that's what this site is for! Poll Pollution - we tell you what to think so you don't have to! Isn't that nice?
