12. Isn't AOL a tad conservative to begin with?
At least that's why I have always considered AOL to suck.

42. Polls everywhere else on the web show massive, overwhelming support
for Colbert, and contempt for dimson.

Yet ... Somehow, AOL's polls always seem to reflect a different, non-reality. A "truthiness", if you will.

31. LOL, thanks to DU I got 8 out of 8 on the quiz
:woohoo:

Thanks to all who have posted pictures and headlines. Although, I have to admit, my Oprah answer was a pure guess. I don't think I've ever knowingly clicked on an Oprah thread.

32. Nash 79% No?!? Early anti-war and MVP of the NBA - what's not to love?
:wtf:

He's one of the best players in the game and he came out early against the war in Iraq. He also said the media was beating the drum for war. Nash isn't some stupid jock. He came out against the war and was vocal about it.

An article from the days when he was still with the Mavericks

Steve speaks out
Mavericks' star voices opposition to war in Iraq

By John Hollinger, SI.com

ATLANTA -- NBA All-Star Game media days are usually filled with pithy quotes and clichés, but Dallas Mavericks guard Steve Nash veered wildly off the standard course Friday by using the occasion to speak out against war in Iraq.

Wearing a T-shirt that said "No war -- Shoot for peace," the Canadian celebrated his 29th birthday by making his position perfectly clear.

"I believe that us going to war would be a mistake," he said. "Being a humanitarian, I think that war is wrong in 99.9 percent of all cases. I think it has much more to do with oil or some sort of distraction, because I don't feel as though we should be worrying about Iraq."

Nash said he felt that U.N. weapons inspectors should be allowed to complete their mission before any further action is taken, and that the United States in particular had provided insufficient evidence to warrant an attack.

***

He also blamed the media for beating the war drum. "I think a lot of what we hear in the news is misleading and flat-out false, so I think it's important for us to think deeper and find out what is really going on." [/div
