Dear Editor: Enough With the Polls, Already!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
My int’rest in polling is waning:
Who’s winning, who’s losing, who’s gaining.
Tell me where these guys stand—
Who’s a liar? What’s canned?
Give me substance — not horse race-campaigning.
Update: Don Davis has a fun take on the same topic. And the witty and oh so modest Jon Swift has posted the best blog posts of 2007 as chosen by the bloggers themselves.

True enough, true enough.
Love your poll on the sidebar. Clever.

Polls are a lot like pols…changeable and without much value.

Oh, I so agree with you on this subject! I don’t believe a thing that comes out of their mouths. Great limerick!

Like the poem, *love* the poll!

I agree. Though I’m even sicker of mindless coverage of Britney and the rest of the celebrity gang.
