6. Bit.ly is a URL shortener... the original URL was too large...

I use bit.ly all the time to shorten up URLs. It's safe.

10. No need to use URL shorteners -- DU automatically manages overly-long addresses. . .

Here's the same address, pasted directly into the DU page:

http://politics.newsvine.com/_question/2010/03/21/4048693-the-house-has-passed-an-historic-health-care-overhaul-are-you-excited-or-angry

As you can see, DU has reduced the length while retaining enough identifying information so all users will be confident the link is what it is purported to be. Quite a number of people on this board won't click a link that isn't easily decipherable, so using a URL shortener actually works against your interests if you wish everyone to visit the sites to which you link.

9. Fuckem. Tending online polls is stupid. It is much better to spend the time

Calling emailing or doing something in the real world.

11. i choose C..

I don't know what to feel. I'm happy that more Americans will be insured, but don't think that anyone should be required to purchase coverage under the threat of costly penalties.

13. Well they're angry cause the more balanced response had too many words for them to understand...

62+% of sycophantic RW/GOP tea-nut-hate-baggers are angry that life has too many words for them to read :mad:
