I believe in angels.
Also twins, expos, and phillies.
Beginning to entertain doubts about agw, though.
The Pew Research the AGW number is based on is really interesting.
The moral of the story seems to be that Americans don't trust journalists or scientists, but they do trust metaphysicists. The ad-wizards behind BHO's campaign seem to have known this.
This poll wasn't conducted by the folks who put this one together, was it?

What percentage are homecoming queens?
Norman linked to a graphic that shows Foxnews can screw up a report about a poll -- 35% say it's Very Likely and 59% say it's at least somewhat likely.
Still, those are better numbers than I would have predicted. I'm happy to see evolution beat AGW; still sad that it couldn't get a majority.
