The head of the Gallup Polling Group has made some bold claims in recent public remarks, including saying that the Iraq war is one demonstration of how out-of-touch the worlds leaders are with the general public.
I agree, not that this should come as any surprise. Interesting though, coming from this source, somebody who would seem to want to stay out of any sort of partisan fray. Interestingly, his remarks weren't partisan at all, they were broad-brush type indictments.

Highlighted Read for the Month
WorldChanging.org, already one of my favorite websites is running a series on 21 World Changing Principles, the first article of which is located here.
When it comes to forward-thinking writing about the tools, standards, and innovations that are driving change related on both an ecological and an ethical front, this site is amazing. They've been highlighted in my links section for ages, but I also know that piece of any given blog can be easily ignored. So, if you stop by regularly, or if this is your first time, I recommend checking out the article linked above and some of their other insightful pieces.
Sometime soon I'm even going to work up something to send their way on a book that my company is promoting. More on the book soon, but for now, check out the principles... they're actually up to number 8 or so by now... so there's a bunch to look into.

New & Improved, "Best Way"*

Improved hopefully refers to the constantly improved quality of the posted content. I'll let you be the judge of whether this claim is valid or similar to the constantly echoing, "Nacho Cheezerifictasticker" claims you read on Doritos bags.

John McCain, Cat Lady
Wow, today is off to a disappointing start. It turns out I've uncovered a solid reason not to vote for Barak Obama... no pets! Who knew!?!? Turns out his kids are lobbying hard to change that fact and get a dog if he wins.
What other news did the AP dig up in their latest funky candidate question?
America's Mayor, also hates animals... er... is pet-less.
John McCain, a bit of a cat lady... or animal lover, but wow 22 pets!?!?! Amazing. I'm not so sure about Cuff and Link as turtle names, Mr. McCain, it's a little too much with the cheese. Also, maybe he's not so much a cat lady as somebody who is starting their own arc... you know, just in case the flood comes.
My favorite pet name belongs to Bill Richardson's cat Squeaky.
In all seriousness, though, does anybody else love this utter and complete randomness courtesy of the Associated Press? I'm impressed with the range of questions they've asked, and I'm now prepared to offer some ideas for future questions. Maybe if you comment and leave ideas of your own we can develop a really strong list to send AP's way. So, here goes:
1. Are you now or have you ever been a toupee-wearer?
2. Name your favorite dairy product
3. If you were stranded on a small desert island which character on Lost would your actions most closely resemble, and why?
4. Which do you find more annoying: soaring deficits or cell phone ring tones?
