An Absurd CNN Poll
You would think that there might be some connection between the subject of the daily CNN on-line poll and the news of the nation that day.

Here's todays question: Are you a Mac fan or a PC person?


Five more GIs killed in Iraq, the economy and the dollar in collapse, 8 good men running in an election to be held in three days, and this is the pressing question facing the nation?

5. Isn't Friday called "Trash day"
'cause nobody reads the paper on Saturdays?
Or was that only true on The West Wing?

6. It's apple's 20th aniversary
And this poll is relevant to a story they ran about that. As a mac user, I consider this worthwhile news, and am actually encouraged by the results of this poll.

7. Imagine if Gore were in power today:
Edited on Sat Jan-24-04 05:38 PM by SeveneightyWhoa
The CNN poll would look more like this.

"Is President Gore responsible for all of the problems this country faces today?
A. Absolutely!
B. Yes.
C. Most likely.
D. Possibly, or unsure."

10. Wouldn't it be scary
If the real news got out and people found out how bad our economy was. They wouldn't want people to know that Bush was hated either would they?

13. It's probably tough to run a new poll every day
Edited on Sat Jan-24-04 06:38 PM by demothinker
They need to branch out to other topics occasionally...those other ones have probably been addressed before, and will probably be re-addressed.

Geez, we get fussy here sometimes...
