Results of last poll

Are you happy with the direction in which the country is moving?
61%	Delighted. I voted for change. Now, where do I go to get my free, new GM car?
13%	No. I am a progressive. We should be progressively moving into the future, only faster.
11%	No. In the Good Old Days, we'd put punks like Obama over our knee and give them a good spanking. Well, maybe not Negroes.
10%	No. I was for McCain, bless him. We were both in the Service. 'Nuff said. Except, wish Sarah Palin had kept her trap shut. And gotten the boob job sooner.
Totals do not add up to 100% due to rounding error, undecided/uncommitted/inarticulate, and poll-taker sloth.
