Thanks, sweN xoF!

Here’s a recent poll in the USA Today:

Americans strongly oppose laws taking away the collective bargaining power of public employee unions, according to a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll. The poll found 61% would oppose a law in their state similar to such a proposal in Wisconsin, compared with 33% who would favor such a law.

Here’s how it was reported on Fox & Friends:

KILMEADE: And here is the question that was posed, should you take away--will you favor or are you in disfavor of taking away collective bargaining when it comes to salaries for government workers? 61% In favor of taking it away. 33% oppose. 6% up in the air.

Don’t like the poll results? Just report it backwards! Thanks, sweN xoF!

Deader to me

Turner Classic Movies has a big glossy insert in Vanity Fair (also dead to me, see previous post) promoting “31 Days of Oscar,” featuring trivia questions about Oscar-winning movies. Question #7:

“Producer Hal B. Wallis nearly made which character in Casablanca a female, considering Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald for the role?”

Well, duh. Sam of course. In case you’re an idiot they even provide a hint: “You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh. The fundamental things apply as time goes by.” Double duh.

The answer is in teensy print at the bottom of the page: “Sam (played in the film by Louis Armstrong)”

What the effing effing eff? Louis Armstrong? Seriously? One of the most iconic roles of all time in a true movie classic. Louis freaking Armstrong? TCM, have you ever SEEN Casablanca? TCM, you are dead to me.
