Story about our Beloved PBS Poll

Snippet:

PBS acted because the entire pbs.org site had been experiencing system overload due to massive accessing of the poll.

We werent the only ones being driven up the wall with this poll

8. I got this email from my sister-in-law about this poll
I suppose this is old news to those of you who have been talking about this poll, but what the heck, this is what it says:

"PBS wants to 'show the world' that Sarah Palin is not qualified. They are taking an 'unscientific' poll and will then use it to make their point. To achieve their goal, they have turned to their viewers who are about 80% liberal. Let's provide them with a result they did not expect. Send this email to every non-liberal you know. Let's get some balance into this survey group. This is the easiest vote you will ever make. It takes literally two seconds. Let's turn this around!!!"

One of the people in the email chain wrote "I vote yes as a Christen." Apparently she's not Christian enough to know how to spell it.

I wrote back to my sister-in-law "I am a liberal. I don't think she's qualified."
