FUNNY, IT'S NOT SNOWING OUTSIDE...:
In a preview of the beginning of the apocalypse, I'm sure, Matt Yglesias writes something I kind of agree with:
"Polls show all kinds of stuff, and the main thing you can learn from studying polling about voters' stances on the issues is that the average person doesn't really understand what he's talking about."
Now, of course, there's a lot more that could be said on this topic (such as whether it matters if people are 'confused' about what they want, or if perhaps polling doesn't reflect how people normally think of political issues and so captures all sorts of odd results), but I'll defer on that for the time being...
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
