Hey there, Poll fans! The results are in! Many thanks to those that replied.
We need more numbers to make cool graphs, but I'm sure it'll happen as time goes on. Particularly when we have FUN polls which I thoroughly intend on conducting. I'd like to be eclectic about this. Not all boring political stuff, ya know? Anyway, here it is...
3 votes for Wes Clark... I hear ya. Being a DAV Life Member with 16 years service he was my guy for POTUS in '04. He'd be better as SecDef now, though...
2 Votes for Hillary Clinton... The 'Iron Lady' (nods to Maggie Thatcher) was my choice in the primary, more's the pity, but she should now kick Harry Reid's pathetic ineffectual ass out of the Majority Leader's spot and rule the Senate as the 'Lady in Waiting'...
1 vote for John Edwards... I like John, I really do. How can you not like John? But... no...
1 vote for Jim Webb... A good choice, but he's already said 'no thanks, it's more fun and productive being a Senator' (are ya listening, Hillary?)...
1 vote for Bob Graham... A good man, Bob is, but he's has been out of the public eye too long...
1 vote for Evan Bayh... Lives next door in Indiana which doesn't help geopolitically, but is on all the right Senate committees that can help Obama with domestic and international issues... Would get out of Hillary's way in '16, I'm sure... (my guy)
So, there it is. A modest start, true, but not for the lack of trying and enthusiasm by those involved (Thanks, Sally P, for your excited, seemingly breathless missive. What are ya? Some kinda college kid, or what? Jeesh! haha)...
OK, another serious poll... Really serious...
Last Sunday in an interview with CBS, Senator Obama said that an increase in troops, "...two Brigades, perhaps three..." is necessary in Afghanistan. Are you in favor of that escalation? (three brigades is approximately 15,000 soldiers)... Let it fly...
BTW next Monday's poll will make you LYAO... I promise...
The current question is

There are fresh poll questions on Monday and Thursday, with Monday's results on Thursday, and Thursday's results on Monday. Might even have some charts and graphs.
Marty Kaplan: Beyond Sicko (huffingtonpost.com)
Pick any national metric of healthiness -- life expectancy, infant mortality, birth weight, chronic diseases incidence -- and America's comparative performance is in the cellar. How can this be?
Pete Paphides: The B52's on sex, drugs and soft lobsters (entertainment.timesonline.co.uk)
One of the pitfalls of playing a show at a 414-year-old German fortress is that, when it was built, no one could have foreseen what this building would eventually be used for. As a result, there are no dressing rooms at the Berlin Citadel, just a series of curtained-off areas where bands get ready.
Glenn Gamboa: Q&A with dance-music icon Donna Summer (Newsday)
Donna Summer could have taken the easy way out. She could have hopped on the nostalgia train and trotted out "Hot Stuff" to a backing tape at every high-priced disco revival night and sat home and counted all the cash.
Ben Edmonds: Buffy Sainte-Marie is light-years beyond her days as a protest singer (Detroit Free Press)
She attributes our incomplete and out-of-date picture to U.S. government pressure resulting from her political activism, particularly regarding American Indian issues. "I was blacklisted, taken away from American audiences in my prime," she says, "but that didn't stop me. I had the rest of the world and lots of creative options to explore."
David Bruce: Wise Up! Husbands and Wives (athensnews.com)
Not everyone cusses on a regular basis, and so when they attempt to cuss, they can make mistakes because they are out of practice. For example, Tucson Weekly columnist Tom Danehy says that his saintly wife once tried to cuss and said, "I don't give a hell!" He asks, "What does that even mean?"
Charlie responded:
Some sources say 7 pounds, but most say
C: 8½ lbs
Which =
3.855535145 kilograms
2.305083043 x 1027 proton masses
or
6.451698703 x 10-25 Earth masses
In case the subject ever comes up.
Sally, in mega humid (but definitely cooler) NNJ, said:
Well, when I first read the question dejour, I thought the Oscar weigh to be quite light, especially when one recalls the winner's holding up their golden treasure while pontificating on and on, ad nauseum... Upon research, however, I see in fact that, Mr "O" actually weighs in at a hefty 8 1/2 lbs (C)! Question: Why do we need all those payback speeches by the winners anyway? Wouldn't a simple, "Thank you" be a lot more dignified?? Well, as 'they" say: "When I rule the world...heads will roll." J Caesar
PS: At 4:20 PM we have just been issued a, "Tornado" warning in freaking New Jersey!! Everyone knows that tornado's belong in Kansas! Really, the, "Divine Ruler" needs to rethink this weather!
Marian the Teacher returns, writing:
8 1/2 pounds...glad to be back!!! Missed participating in these quizzes.
And, Joe S ("Films and life are like clay, waiting for us to mold it. And when you trust your own insides and that becomes achievement, it's a kind of principle that seems to me is at work with everyone. God bless that principle. God bless that potential that we all have for making anything possible if we think we deserve it."

C: 8½ lbs (How do you come up with these Marty?)
I hit the matinee showing of the new Batman movie at 11:30 AM……$6.50 for a ticket and free popcorn…..that's almost free (I got 2 popcorns)… the movie is 152 minutes long so that means I paid a little over 4 cents a minute for the most explosion laden, car chase and crash filled cinematic endeavor ….ever! I was even a little annoyed and exhausted at the 2 hour mark…..but maybe it was too early in the day to see such incendiary cinema!
"The Dark Knight" starts off where "Batman Begins" ended……in the city of Gotham….with a devastating number of high level bank robberies occurring…..a new District Attorney named Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart - "Erin Brockovich" (2000) - "Thank You for Smoking" (2005) has been named to head up an aggressive City campaign to end the criminal activity.
Enter long time billionaire Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale - "American Psycho" (2000) - "The New World" (2005) (who also lives part time in a concrete cave and puts on a suit and cape)….anyway Bruce throws an extravagant fund raiser at his high class High-rise for Harvey……and in turns out that Mr. Dent has been heavily dating Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal - "Secretary" (2002) - "SherryBaby" (2006) who is Bruce's Ex!!!!! Oh the dynamic tension….but all of this is peanuts when compared to the Villain!
The Joker is no Joke!
We get to meet the meat of the movie when the Joker (Heath Ledger - "A Knight's Tale" (2001) - "Brokeback Mountain" (2005) along with his "Insane Clown Posse" pull off an amazing and massive bank robbery in the Gotham City…..in the Joker we have a character that is a smeared white grease paint covered mutilated and bloodied faces drooling tongue slapping maniac…..not a funny face…..but a completely crazy creature who is both unpredictable and acts with total abandon (quite successfully by Mr. Ledger)….This is no Kids movie….it is ludicrous, loud and really scary. The Joker forces Batman/Bruce to make the ultimate decision…to expose himself and save the day (again) or back into the shadows and let the powers that be try its hand.
Caesar Romero played a rather cartoonish Joker in the TV "Batman" (1969) and Jack Nicholson played a very over the top Joker in "Batman" (1989). Neither of these characterizations match the intensity and darkness that Heath Ledger brought to the Joker.
Will Batman get the girl?
Will Batman finally expose himself?
Will Batman save Gotham City?
Go see "The Dark Knight" at night…when it's dark…you may have a different experience than I had.
Purple Gene gives "The Dark Knight" 8 leering lunatic laughs from the Joker out of 10 for being rather disturbing.

Protesters gathered on Wednesday outside Fox News Channel (R-Official Republican Propaganda Organ) to denounce what they claim is its racist campaign coverage, including a pundit who called Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama a terrorist.
The crowd of some 150 people wielded a petition with more than 600,000 signatures objecting to news coverage by Fox, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corpse, organizers said.
Led by activist groups MoveOn.org and ColorOfChange.org, protesters cited incidents on Fox including an on-screen graphic calling Michelle Obama "Obama's baby mama" and a pundit who confused Obama with Osama bin Laden and joked they should both be assassinated.
Another anchor called a televised fist bump between Obama and his wife a "terrorist fist jab," they said, and talk show host Bill O'Reilly (R-Loofah Lover) discussed calling a "lynching party" to deal with Michelle Obama after criticizing her patriotism.
Richard Roeper, fresh off announcing that he was leaving the balcony of "At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper," may have put it best.
Hours after word of his departure, he posted on his Twitter feed: "With all the old footage and the person-on-the-street interviews, it's like watching your own obit."
Or maybe an obituary for influential, well-informed film criticism on TV.
Roeper and Ebert's replacements - Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz - are notably younger, with arguably hipper resumes. Lyons, 26, is the son of longtime film critic Jeffrey Lyons and has worked as a reporter and critic for MTV, E! and "Access Hollywood." (Jeffrey Lyons, meanwhile, has his own syndicated film-review show, "Lyons & Bailes Reel Talk," with co-host Alison Bailes.)
Mankiewicz, 41, is a host on Turner Classic Movies and is the grandson of Herman Mankiewicz, who won an Oscar for writing the screenplay for "Citizen Kane" with Orson Welles. Roeper is 48 and Ebert is 66.
Not every musician will make a film that features a fan facing him from a concert audience with two arms raised, middle fingers extended - more than one fan, in fact.
Neil Young was singing protest songs on a "Freedom of Speech" tour with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash at the time. Ignoring that kind of nonverbal speech would contradict the message, wouldn't it?
It was an easy call. Using the nom de plume Bernard Shakey, Young directs "CSNY: Deja Vu," a film that uses the tumult surrounding CSNY's 2006 concert tour as a backdrop for exploring divisions in the country over the Iraq war. It opens in theaters on Friday.
Vince Vaughn is the best star for the buck, says Forbes magazine.
Vaughn raked in $14.73 of gross income for studios for every dollar he was paid for "The Break-up," "Wedding Crashers" and "Dodgeball," the magazine calculated for its special entertainment issue, now on newsstands.
Forbes said it compiled the Ultimate Star Payback list by looking at the stars' last three films that opened wide in at least 1,000 theaters before 2008 and were made in the last five years.
Tobey Maguire ranked No. 2 on the list, with a gross income return of $13.44 for each dollar of his pay for the "Spider-Man" sequels and "Seabiscuit." Julia Roberts was in third place with a gross income return of $13.19.
On the day Jerry Garcia would have turned 66, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra will welcome more than 2,000 Deadheads to the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall for the world premiere performance of "Dead Symphony No. 6," the first orchestral work inspired by the music of the Grateful Dead.
Patrons will be greeted by a display of rare Dead photos in the lobby, and the approximately 50-minute performance will include a psychedelic light display.
The idea for the unusual show came from Toby Blumenthal, the BSO's manager of facility sales and a certified Deadhead, who came across a copy of the "Dead Symphony" CD and thought it would be a perfect fit for the adventurous orchestra.
A signed exhibition catalogue by John Lennon containing risque sketches he drew of his wife Yoko Ono in the late 1960s has fetched £25,000 at auction.
Lennon signed the catalogue for his exhibition entitled the Bag One for American journalist Sandra Shevey when she interviewed him and Ono in New York in 1972.
Lennon's original drawings from the catalogue were seized by Scotland Yard officers when shown in London in January 1970 on the second day of their exhibition because of their erotic nature.
They were a gift to his wife and celebrate their wedding, honeymoon and their plea for world peace in what became their notorious "bed-in" held in a bedroom of the Amsterdam Hilton.

"Guernica" depicts intense suffering but it's own health is not in danger.
That's the diagnosis after the first X-ray of Pablo Picasso's 20th century anti-war opus carried out by the Reina Sofia art museum.
The X-ray of the large-format canvas - 11 feet by 25 feet (3.5-meter by 7.8-meter) - was part of a series of tests begun over a year ago on one of the world's most prized masterpieces.
Syndicated columnist Robert Novak says he has been issued a $50 citation after hitting a pedestrian while driving in downtown Washington.
Witnesses say the collision occurred about 10 a.m. Wednesday as the 77-year-old Novak was traveling near K Street in his black Chevrolet Corvette.
Novak tells WJLA-TV he was cited for failing to yield the right of way. He says he didn't realize what happened and continued driving until a bicyclist stopped him.
David Bono, the bicyclist who witnessed the incident, told The Associated Press that the pedestrian was hit in a crosswalk and was splayed across Novak's windshield.

U.S. rapper and hip-hop mogul 50 Cent sued Taco Bell on Wednesday, saying the restaurant chain made him the star of its hip-hop themed ad campaign without his permission and without paying him a fee.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, accuses the Mexican-style fast food chain of "diluting the value of his good name" and employing a guerrilla advertising campaign to fool consumers into thinking he had endorsed the chain, said the lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court.
The lawsuit accuses the chain of disseminating a letter, addressed to 50 Cent, that encourages the rapper to change his name to "79 Cent," "89 Cent" or "99 Cent," the lawsuit said.
The letter was designed to promote the company's "79-89-99 Cent Why Pay More" campaign, while avoiding the multimillion dollar fee the rapper might have charged to use his name, the lawsuit said.
A Greek court has dismissed a request by residents of the Aegean island of Lesbos to ban the use of the word lesbian to describe gay women, according to a court ruling made public on Tuesday.
Rapper DMX has been indicted on felony charges by a grand jury in Arizona for allegedly trying to get out of paying a hospital bill.
Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas says the 37-year-old rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, has been charged with one count of theft and one count of taking someone else's identity.
Authorities say Simmons went to Scottsdale's Mayo Clinic in April, said his name was "Troy Jones," and received care with the intent of not paying the bill.

Prince William has had a touching tribute to his late mother the Princess of Wales incorporated into a crest marking his appointment as the 1,000th Knight Of The Garter. The carving, which will sit above William's seat in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, features a small scallop shell - a symbol which formed part of Princess Diana's coat of arms.
Although it's unusual for maternal symbols to be added to a royal coat of arms, the sea shell - which has been a Spencer family emblem for over 400 years - was included at the 26-year-old Prince's specific request.
The design features a roaring lion perched on a crown, with a three-pronged plaque - a symbol showing William is the first-born son - on its chest bearing a tiny red shell motif.
Crest carvings date from 1348 when Edward III founded the Order of the Garter. Each is still carved from light, strong and durable lime wood - a legacy from medieval times when a version was worn atop a knight's helmet in battle - and is coated with 24 carat gold leaf designed to last for 1,000 years.
A Continental Airlines flight carrying former presidential candidate Ron Paul and six other members of Congress to Washington, D.C., made an emergency landing in New Orleans on Tuesday after a loss in cabin pressure.
The seven congressmen, all from Texas, were trying to get back in time for a Tuesday night vote on an aviation safety bill when the flight landed without incident, a spokesman for one of the representatives said. No injuries were reported among the 128 crew and passengers.
FAA spokeswoman Lynn Tierney said Flight 458 from Houston initiated a rapid descent to bring the plane to an altitude below where adding oxygen was necessary and was given priority to land at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
On the flight were Reps. Paul, Ted Poe, John Carter, Solomon P. Ortiz, Ciro Rodriguez, and Henry Cuellar, Kincaid said. The group was trying to make a vote on the Aviation Safety Enhancement Act.
The head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.
The warning from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is contrary to numerous studies that don't find a link between cancer and cell phone use, and a public lack of worry by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Herberman is basing his alarm on early unpublished data. He says it takes too long to get answers from science and he believes people should take action now - especially when it comes to children.

Bob and Leona Ehrfurth say the noise that's been plaguing them for two years sounds something like a rumbling motor, with a subtle vibration that won't quit. Then it stops - especially when they try to show city officials or acoustic experts what they're hearing.
She and her husband, who is 75, have lived in the same house for 42 years. The problem only developed over the last two years.
"Yeah, I've experienced it," Alderman Andy Nicholson said. "It's like an engine thing, a low-frequency vibration. I think it would be an annoyance."
The couple said the noise started soon after St. Bernard's Parish across the street had the roofing, chimney and ductwork on a wing of its school redone. However, when the parish staff turned off all of its equipment as a test, the noise continued.
Disease spread to wild bees from commercially bred bees used for pollination in agriculture greenhouses may be playing a role in the mysterious decline in North American bee populations, researchers said on Tuesday.
Scientists have been struggling to understand the recent decline in various bee populations in North America. For example, a virus brought from Australia has been implicated in massive honeybee deaths last year.
Canadian researchers studied another type of bee, the bumblebee, near two large greenhouse operations in southern Ontario where commercially reared pollination bees are used in the growing of crops such as tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers.
The researchers first observed that the commercial bumblebees regularly flew in and out of vents in the sides of the greenhouses, escaping from the facilities.
