<p>—TF</p>
<p>UPDATE &#8212; Updated my theme and Polls now work again&#8230; but my edits to the theme are gone&#8230; need to merge my old look with this updated theme. Fun (have a backup, of course)</p>
<p>UPDATE 2&#8211;All polls now have Michael Jackson songs in them. Great.</p>
<p>UPDATE 3&#8211;Polls are now back to having the proper content, but are non-functional again.</p>
<p>UPDATE 4&#8211;As far as I can tell, I&#8217;ve found the right bits in the .phps files in the themes folder to make it all work again&#8230; for now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear normal American People,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve noticed some polls lately showing that I&#8217;m not doing so hot. So I&#8217;m going to try to distract from all that by pretending to be really into something I know nothing about and claim that my presence in the debate on that subject will help further it along. I also want to delay or suspend the debate I&#8217;m not ready for, as well as that of my even less prepared running mate so that we can concentrate on the problem at hand (all the while claiming this is not about politics, but about putting America first). </p>
<p>(in)Sincerely,</p>
<p>John</p>

<p>As some of you may know I&#8217;ve been riding the bus into work most days. Today there was a new twist added to my bussin&#8217; experience.</p>
<p>So I needed to get to work earlier today (cuz of some extra webpages that need some o&#8217; dat sweeeet designin&#8217;) and I caught an earlier bus. Thing is, this bus is fancy and has Wi-Fi onboard, letting me get online whilst other losers are stuck driving in traffic. In the spirit of the &#8220;Nerd Bird&#8221; (the frequent Austin to San Jose plane carrying tech nerds back and forth between Silicon Hills and Silicon Valley in the late 90s), I think this mode of transportation needs a catchy, rhymey name too.</p>
<p>However, I&#8217;m drawing a blank, so help me out by coming up with some suggestions. Some starter words for ya:<br />
Wagon, Ride, Wheels, Transport, Download, Dork, Tech, Laptop</p>
<p>Hook me up, smarties!</p>
