Speaking of polls, I read something last week in the new york times that amazed me- it was in an article discussing the difference between how men and women were viewing the election.

It turns out that a cbs/nyt poll discovered that 47 PERCENT of women still believed that Saddam was directly involved in the 9/11 attack!

It just shows you several things:

1. Americans are incapable of thinking.

2. American women are especially incapable of thinking.

3 Americans have so little access to information outside of the TV that what little thinking ability they have is useless. Garbage in, garbage out.

Here's the quote from the NYT article. (yeah, NYT is something a leftist rag as far as the red states are concerned, but it's a leftist rag with huge journalistic resources...)

Here's the relevant quote:

"Even odder, perhaps, was the gender gap on a question in the Times poll asking whether Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Twenty-nine percent of men said he was, versus 47 percent of women, putting them 18 points ahead - or maybe behind. "
