Can you send Adrian Ryan to SLC to conduct some interviews about the effects that these poll results are having on Utahns? Inquiring minds want to know....

Mr Poe - he's already hitched, Mass. style

Now let's just hope and pray he's monogamous. And agoraphobic. And forgets how to read and write.

Drudge picked me up at a friend's house in the Hollywood Hills in his red Geo Metro, arriving with an impressive bouquet of yellow roses. Jesus, I thought, Drudge thinks we're going on a date. After dinner at the famed West Hollywood restaurant Dan Tana's, he suggested we go bar hopping along the gay strip on Santa Monica Boulevard, which Drudge navigated like a pro.
(Six months hence, I received the following e-mail message from Drudge, under the subject heading "XXX." Drudge wrote: "Laura [Ingraham] spreading stuff about you and me being fuck buddies. I should only be so lucky.")

Ewwwwww.

It must have had a huge effect on the mainstream media; everybody's buzzing about it.

(This just means that sane people did a better job of getting the word out to their friends.)

Though I guess the illusion that 'everybody is ok with it' might actually help make people ok with it.

I cleared my cookies at least 50 times last night to vote yes yes yes yes!!! That was FUN!!!!

You don't have to continually clear your cookies, browsers have a setting in the "internet options" (or whatever your browser calls it) setting that will let you decline a cookie once and the site will not be able to set a cookie again within a period of 2 weeks (Firefox) to ever (Internet Explorer).

Just so you know.
