Bi-Monthly Poll Thursdays!!!

The new poll is supposed to go up on Wednesdays. Yes, I'm aware. I haven't really been able to post as often as I'd like due to some unforeseen life snafus. Deal with it. Anyway, this poll is going to last two weeks because I'm going to Italy for two weeks, effective tomorrow night, and won't be able to update the site. For this reason, I've selected an extremely thought-provoking topic and thrown in some curveballs for good measure. More on that later.

Very interesting poll this past week. What would happen if we put several of the world's most contentious leaders in the ring at the same time and let them duke it out? Global conflict should be this easy, shouldn't it? The results:

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (10%)
George W. Bush (50%)
Hugo Chavez (35%)
Kim Jong Il (5%)

Some of you expressed trepidation over Bush's victory. Perhaps favoritism is at play? Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez appears to be the worthiest of adversaries. A lot of you felt he would emerge victorious, likely in the the school of thought that Hispanics are wily, and fight dirty. Alas, tis not the case. I cannot tell you why Bush won, only that he did. Our fearless leader, for those of us lucky enough to live in America, prevailed in a close decision. For what it's worth, I agree with the outcome. Many of you are anti-Bush, and it's understandable. However, you should be cautioned before siding against him in a battle royale. Say what you want about Bush politically, but physically he is the most fit president this country's ever had. He is getting older now, but no older than his competition. Plus he's from Texas. I believe W would be the last man standing.

I have a tough one for you guys this week. What would you most like our next president to address upon taking office? There are several choices, and each one is a pressing issue -- both for this country and the world as a result. I deem all choices to be of the utmost importance. Selecting one over another will be a difficult task. Luckily, that's where my curveball comes in. For this poll, you can choose up to 3 responses. This is going to take a lot of thought on your part, but fortunately you have two weeks to decide. Think long and hard. And remember, one person CAN make a difference. Let your voices be heard!
