Hearing Nothing Really Matters -- Madonna
As most of you know AOL Journal has installed a new feature that allows folks to build polls right from the "Add an Entry" screen. It fast and fun and easy to use, so, you know -- let's!
Weekend Assignment #183: Make up a poll for people to play with. The poll can be on any subject you want -- it can be serious or funny or silly or whatever (although funny's always, you know. Funny). If you're not on AOL Journals or for some reasons you don't want to use AOL's poll function, there are other poll options for your blog; here's one, for example.
Extra credit: Have you ever participated in a political poll?
And now, my poll:
As for the extra credit: Yes, I was called and asked to participate in a political poll once. I agreed to it, but then as it proceeded, it was clear that it was one of those push polls, in which misleadingly phrased questions are used to tar a particular politician ("Senator Jones believes that animal populations should be controlled. Do you believe, like Senator Jones, that we should strangle fluffy kittens with our bare hands?"). Once I figured out what was going on, I hung up. I hate that sort of crap.
You're up! Make up a poll using the AOL Journal poll tool or other poll tools (or, heck, just type it in), post it in your blog or journal, and then come here to leave a link. Then check out other people's polls and play along with them! Have fun, folks.

Blogger allows you to create polls in the template, but not the individual posts. My poll is just... there. My extra credit question is here: http://boliyou.blogspot.com/2

My poll is about a local issue.
