Are they finding this to be true about issues other then Monica and the First Penis?

They still seem to be doing a good job at directing what is NOT being talked about.

Most folks seem to think that Social Security must be "saved". Or they think they will not get SS.(which I believe the Big Cigars like even better).

BTW, Ken Hamlin goes on about the section 8 vouchers that will now allow people who were happier playing basketball than going to school, to buy a $200,000 next to yours, thanks to the payback for the election that that ultra-left, socialist,Cuomo kid, is orchestrateing.

And have you seen the new Levi's tv. ads? Black and white, looks kinda like a Calvin does anti-drug spot. This young, cool guy, talking about everyone's not the same, he doesn't think everyone deserves the same house.

He takes advantage of "capitalism", you work hard, you get, you know, extras'---- And just a little Levi's logo, bottom left. What the hell is that about? I wouldn't be shocked if they were putting Reds in jail, or at least fired from some jobs, in the next 5 yrs.

So--psephologists study psephos?

Oh yeah, back to info manipulation. This morning on NPR I just caught SALT II, so I walked in the room, waiting to hear how the Russians were probably not going to do the treaty because of our actions in Iraq, but they didn't even go there. Some talk about Americans helping to decommission military and civilian nuke sites.

So what are we thinking about that they'd rather we didn't?
