Gallup called tonight

[The Jacobin]

Asked me if I approved of the job the president is doing. I tried not to laugh out loud as I calmly said "disapprove."

They also asked if the war in Iraq was worth it. "No." How is the economy? "Fair." Will there be a terrorist attack in the U.S. in the next several weeks? "No."

Then he offered to send me a demographic survey to get on a "prefered list" of people to be polled. "Yes." I sure am tired of them asking questions to morons (MORON WITH A MICROPHONE, M...M...M!). Hopefully I can be included more often.

1. God I wish they'd call me. I have so much to say!

2. polls have "preferred lists"????

Somehow that seems a bit, well, wrong.

4. I was called last week. It's actually a panel. The Gallup Panel.

:hi:

5. Maybe that's not the right term

but I think what they will send is a detailed demographic survey and a commitment from me that I will answer the phone.

That way they can not waste their time calling bad numbers and they can skip all the demographic questions. At least that was the impression I got.

3. Good for you! At least we know they contacted ONE Dem!

I'm being nasty I know. I do question how they decide who they're going to call or poll and since it's such a small sampling, how do they know they're getting a representative sample of the Country?

6. Hey Jacobin....

Read a lot of Dr. Seuss, much? Big M, little m, what begins with M?

[The Jacobin]

7. Yes

I have that board book. I read it to my two year old daughter several times a day (sometimes MANY times if she demands it) with my four month old daughter looking on.

That is also a reference to Mike Malloy's show where he has used that line for Shrub. I think he has a young daughter, too.
