This is yet another timely example of irrelevancy. At this rate, as our staid institutions become fatuously enthralled with blathering idiocy, I am inclined to believe I am now a resident of the United States of Stupid! -Kevo

I'm surprised it was only 88%, too. Apparently, 12% of USians would be okay with the yen or something. Huh.

It's just meant to distract us from the plot to change the name of America to "Bonerland." Despicable.

Rasmussen is Hannity's prefered pollster if that gives you any indication of the type of work he does.

he gets it with issue polling that, while basically methodologically sound - Yglesias

I wouldn't concede that. There are any number of ways to manipulate polls, even with fair questions. Why would Yglesias conclude they only used one method to drive results?

Well, there's one thing that is right about the question, creating a new global reserve currency would weaken the US economically. And I think China and the rest of the World would like to weaken us, partly out of punishment during the Bush years and partly out of the clusterf*ck we drove the world into.

I wish Rasmussen would poll the popularity of packing Rep Bachmann and her supporters on barges, ship them down the Mississippi River, out into the Gulf of Mexico and over to Republic of Texas where they would join Co-Heirophants Norris and Cornyn in their newly secedded fatherland created in a bloodless coup due to the seating of Senator Franken.

This would explain the black helicopter I saw outside my local bank branch this morning.

the seal @ 4:pm - Now that would surely be one Ship of Fools! -Kevo

Isn't tomorrow, the 1st of April, a National Holiday for the Republican Party? I think we are supposed to dress up in funny hats and floppy shoes and make lots of noise. I believe I will take the day off and watch the parades up and down the aisles of Congress. Ah, the wheels of Truth grind slowly, but very finely.

Another equally valid question:

How do you feel about monkeys randomly flying out of your own ass ?

1) Strongly opposed

2) In favor, but physicaly unable due to hemorrhoids

3) Sure, I like monkeys, especially flying ones

4) Not sure, how big of a monkey ?

Looneyville, that would be just west of the Twin Cities. And directly northeast of Steve King country.

You know, the really Looney part is that these are BLUE states, and not even particularly close. Reps from the Mormon Triangle aren't as nuts as these people. Being in the minority seems to make them fearless rather than more moderate, which would be, well, sane.

Its hard to explain, but we Minnesotans just like to elect intresting people. That said, MN CD6 was created when there was a partisan divide in the state capitol and Ventura was governor and the redistricting was done by a panel of judges. I suspect there was a compromise, St Paul and Minneapolis each keeping a seprate district, and a strong republican district gerrymandered. We also have a strong enough 3rd party that is capable of tossing a monkey wrench into the gears. My inlaws are as perplexed by my support for Keith Ellison as I am by their support for Bachmann. I will admit though, Bachmann is far more entertaining.

If US companies feel they have to issue commercial bonds in a currency other than the USD to get investors, then the USD as a world currency is dead.

Whether or lot US citizens like that is simply irrelevant.

I love it. A poll asking American voters if China has a right to choose the currencies of its own investments.

If we had continued the budget surplus policies of Clinton-Gore, China wouldn't have even had an opportunity to buy any new debt of ours.

I'm not sure I really understand all the implications of what changing the global currency are.

And I am sure most American's don't know either. But it doesn't stop them from having an opinion.
