1. You're right
I haven't seen anything in a front and center way. Not saying it's not out there, just haven't seen any MSM outlet push it.

hmmm indeed.

3. I want to see a poll on the American response to the "Shakedown"
Those numbers are gonna scare the shit out of the GOP.

4. One does not often see the word "dearth,"
and seeing it in the same sentence as "slued" (slew is past tense for slay; I bet you meant slued) is really quite rare. Someone else is fond of words. Makes me happy.

Polling, methinks, is driven by the desire for profit. If no one will benefit from a poll, no one does a poll.

5. Thanks For The Appreciation! But I Meant "Slew" As In "A Large Amount"
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/slew

slew 1 also slue (sl)
n. Informal
A large amount or number; a lot: a slew of unpaid bills.

As for "dirth", yeah, I misspelled that one! D'oh!

6. Then a slew of us would have slued right.
You used it as a verb. But I know what you meant. I'm just being cheeky. :)

7. Actually I Didn't, I Used It As A Noun (With A Typo)
Edited on Fri Jun-18-10 05:01 PM by Beetwasher
But I left out "a" by accident...It would have been clearer if I'd said "...you'd think we'd have a slew (of new polls)..."

It's definitely a noun, but it's unclear because of my typo.
