Roly Poll-y

| 3 Comments
If the results of my poll are any indication, I apparently have three regular readers of my blog. That's not too depressing.

Out of the six voters who shared their views on whether the existence of polls would lead them to visit my site more often, two said that they would stop by more often (you're the real heros!), two think I'm lazy, and two were just looking for the bathroom. I voted for one of the first two choices, but I can't remember which. If you're struggling with the math, this means that of the six voters, two happened to pound randomly on just the right combination of keys, three visited intentionally for some reason, and one was me.

I'm sleepy.

I haven't slept too many hours this week, and I should probably work on that. I will go to sleep earlier tonight, and then maybe I'll be less sleepy! It sounds crazy, but the crazy people are the ones who change the world.

I'm like a mad scientist. I'm also sleepy.

These two need to have a show together. Nay, our country needs it.

Without the audience, though. To be honest, I generally really can't stand the Stewart/Colbert audiences. They come across as like, well, liberal puppets.

You know, I'm going to go out on a limb here. I'm calling it: When The O'Reilly Factor and The Daily Show have run their respective courses, there will come to be The Daily Factor. Or The Daily O'Reilly. Or The Factor Show Daily The. Put your money on that last one.

I just filled up my tank for $1.98/gallon. What's going on here?? I mean, I'm not complaining...but this is getting weird.

Best. recession. ever.

I'm posting this from my car. Hi, my name is Tim and I'm a geek.

Yes I can!

Yes, I can! ...Write a blog entry about something other than current events! I can and I will!

It's true, you know. 

First, I will make a statement about future events. (See, I'm sticking with my promise.) Here's a prediction: with a black president, we will start to see steadily increasing numbers of minority-group Republicans. Why? Well, as people feel less disenfranchised, they generally become more conservative. Everyone's saying this is the beginning of the end for the Republican Party, but I say it's just the opposite. I'll check back with y'all in about a dozen years.

And nooo, of course I don't have any citations for my claims. I said it because it makes sense to me. Things that make sense to me are automatically true. Accept it!

(As an aside (and by using the word "aside," this is automatically not an official part of the post and therefore isn't held to the restrictions defined above), how did Proposition 8 pass in California? How did that happen? In that prototypically liberal state? More like a state of confusion, I say (see what I did there??).)

Switching gears, here are some random thoughts that I've made note of in the past couple weeks...
  • When heard on the radio, Seth Rogan sounds like he is at least 50 years old.
  • Speaking of radio, I swear that every time I come across a rural pop/rock radio station, it's playing a Savage Garden song.
  • Chocolate Axe sounds like a horrible idea. I'm assuming that it came into existence via focus groups of women who said that they like chocolate, and then a boardroom of men who determined that women must therefore be sexually attracted to men who smell like chocolate. Next up: buffalo chicken eau de parfum for her.
  • The mayor of one of the towns near me is a stripper. Yes, a stripper and a mayor. Simultaneously. For real.
  • Many people hate them (one of my high school English teachers especially seethed over them), but I think that parentheses can serve as wonderful tools in prose. They're like 3-D glasses for written word! (Just make sure you don't wear them where they don't belong, or else you'll look rather silly and you'll probably get a headache.)

Obama

When was the last time that we've been able to watch people all around the country dance in the streets? Masses of genuinely happy and hopeful people? And it wasn't involving a sports team?

Whether you like Obama or not, you gotta admit that America's really been injected with something. 

I'm watching a political analyst hold back tears on TV.

I know myself!

I took the "World's Smallest Political Quiz" today! It's supposed to be accurate and stuff.

I'm a left-leaning Centrist. Yup, that sounds about right. And it looks like I'm slightly more Libertarian than Statist. What's that...top-leaning?

So, how did everyone else line up?
