Just saw this over at Rasmussen Reports. Gee, and it’s been years since I’ve been to Jersey; nice to know they still remember me fondly. Oh. As it turns out, they’re talking about Bruce Springsteen instead of either of us here at ASIP. I have no clue why they ran this poll, unless it happens [...]

…or, rather, posted on YouTube. The funny thing is that the young woman above was just getting ready to video herself to post on YouTube when the Mexicali quake hit. Just got a link to this video as well (thanks, Marla!) — this is a swimming pool in Brawley, CA, which is about 50 miles [...]
