I got an email poll from my representative Lynn Woolsey. I was willing to take the poll, even though it would mean newsletters from her, until I actually read the poll. It’s a dishonest one, and makes intelligent responses impossible.
Here’s the whole email, with my comments in red:

Obama finally came out from hiding to talk a bit about the economy. One of my liberal friends found this the most exciting aspect of his speech:

IBD does an enjoyably neat job of cutting Nancy Pelosi down to size:
When challenged in an interview with Politico.com about her bullheaded refusal to let Republicans submit energy policies for approval, Pelosi resorted to risible hyperbole to justify her iron-fisted rule of the House parliamentary process.
“I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save [...]
