FWIW - Stop The Presses! - Part II

FWIW – Stop The Presses Part II

The regularly scheduled commentary, “Thank you for the music” will not be presented at this time in order that we may bring you the following:

(This is a re-post of today's earlier post and we hope it is complete.)

We happened to run across some items on the web that we thought would be of interest to you.

Item One: How many times have you seen some news item that cites a survey (somewhere) that purports to show how people poll on an issue of interest? Then, you say to yourself, “Gee, nobody asked me about that!”
Or, something to that effect. Now, you can make your beliefs known! Better yet, you can even earn rewards (cash, too) saying how you believe. There is an organization that wants to know how people poll on various issues of importance; it’s known as PollingPoint . Here’s the beauty of the thing. Take as many or as few of their polls as you like, when you like. You’ll earn ‘points’ for each poll you complete. Take a lot of polls, earn more points, take fewer polls and earn fewer points. The points accrue, and, as far as we can tell, they accrue until you decide what premium you want to trade them for. Be advised, the cash ($100) is available in that amount only and you need to accrue 100,000 points. But, if you are highly opinionated, it shouldn’t take you too terribly long.

Item Two: We are tremendous fans of comedian Lewis Black. Of course, he has his own website www.lewisblack.com. Lewis is also a contestant on Comedy Central for “Comedian of the Month”. If we can enlist your aid, we would like you to
