Bush isn't looking very well these days. "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart": "Now, on the subject of the convention, most observers agreed last week it brought a newly energized Democratic party, one focused on a common goal. With the party now in the spotlight, many people are wondering ... (Stewart handed a piece of paper) Oh. Terror warning. Guess I'll have to stop talking about the Democrats."

Lisa, On Monday you posed the question, "Which poll do you believe?" I just want you to know I don't believe any of them. I took a post-graduate course in mass communication at the University of Oklahoma back in the '80s, and public opinion polling was a major part of the curriculum. I learned then that fewer than 50% of those asked to participate actually agree. Yesterday, on "Hollywood Squares" of all places, I learned that in the 21st Century, more than 60% of those asked to participate in the Gallup Poll refuse. That leaves me with the conclusion that only the bored and socially challenged among us makes up the core of people whose "opinions" are related to the public. I refused to believe in the '80s that fewer that 1,500 people could accurately reflect the opinion of the masses, and I believe it even less today, knowing what I know now. On the contrary, I am convinced that a significant number of Americans base their opinions on what they are told by opinion polls. The polls create opinion, rather than measure it.

“I was watching all the pundits and all the critics today, and they said it was very smart of John Kerry to portray himself as an old soldier reporting for duty. They thought that was very clever. Of course, President Bush can do that. He can portray himself as an old soldier. Although in Bush's case, the reporting for duty thing might be new.” Jay Leno
