So this news channel embedded deep in Bitters country — West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky — runs the occasional poll asking such probing questions as “Do you plan to buy mulch from the city of Charleston?” Here is a new favorite. [WSAZ Polls]

We could solve this once and for all by making sterilization a requirement for welfare. Wake up, people!
cocaine use is a priviledge, not a right!
As long as they’re keeping it economical–crack, crank and ditch weed, I don’t mind. But hell yeah, if they’re doin’ coke they don’t need welfare.
Well, this is certainly good news for legions of rabbits and rhesus monkeys in medical labs around the country!
What? Oh…
The poll has an ad for Bud on it? I love it.
They left out the word ‘black’ in front of welfare recipients, but the respondents were on top of the situation, nonetheless.
How much overlap do you believe there is between those who don’t wear helmets while riding an ATV and those who view Pres. Obama less favorably after his Tonight Show appearance?
Does this include corn farmers, financial firm executives, and everyone who works as a defense contractor?
Couldn’t the money spent on these tests be put to a better use, like welfare?
Oh nevermind, drug testing for everybody at least means that there will be jobs for the drug testers.
Sir, before you hand me your urine sample, could you at least try to pee in the cup and not on it?”
They sure have some wacky-ass polls there. Are teachers unions bad? Do you plan to attend the Appalachian Power Park opening? Does “sexting” concern you? Do you walk to work or take a lunch?
My favorite: Does it upset you when national comedians like Jay Leno make fun of West Virginia?
This poll is built on several faulty assumptions: a) West Virginians have TVs; b) West Virginians have electricity; and c) West Virginians know who Jay Leno is.
binarian: If you had teeth, what would you brush them with?
queeraselvis v 2.0: …and d) Jay Leno is a comedian.
Oh also: apparently, local comedians are free to do as their wont.
binarian: WadISay: Do you participate on online polls? Yes or No.
WadISay: What kind of animal do you like most to date?
Beautiful. Thank you Wonkette!
binarian: I plan to walk to the Power Park opening while sexting with the lunch lady.
Crow T. Robot: You forgot sniffing glue or anything from an aerosol can or their sister’s panties.
OMFG, I love these polls:
Do you plan to go and watch the implosion of Building 82?
Do you plan to attend opening day at Appalachian Power Park?
Do you plan to skip work or school to watch the NCAA basketball tournament?
Do you plan to skip work to watch WVU in the NCAA Tournament?
It’s like there’s only one thing at a time to do in all of West Virginia, and half the time you’ve got to skip work to do it.
“What is your favorite Easter candy?”
A: Live baby chicks.
B. Meth.
C. Dog food.
D. All.
“When should Robert Byrd die?”
A. Soon.
B. After forgets how to spell “earmark”.
C. In a week.
D. He dead.
What do you like to do on Friday night?
Huff gasoline
Fuck the dog
Both
Should welfare recipients be permitted to own cell phones?
- Yes
- No
X The King of Beers
As long as ‘bail out’ recipients have to undergo drug testing, too.
They can have a Bud afterward.
Beer promotes procreation, which leads to new births. Jesus is pleased. You heathens wouldn’t understand.
“When your daughter began m*nstruationg did your son’s d*ck taste different?”
user-of-owls: Win.
S.Luggo: Also, Win. Also.
I am going to Charleston to watch the implosion of Building 82 while drinking Budweiser and eating my favorite Easter candy.
S.Luggo: The Cold Sea: Come here a minute: Wins.
Vewol Mevemont: And, of course, all of congress and their staffers.
binarian: Our local Bozo the clown (Gary Weir - I think he was the only Bozo blessed by Larry Harmon outside of Chicago) would ask little kids “Do you walk to school or carry your lunch?”
It was fun watching the smoke come out of their little heads.
Bahahahahhaah. This is the news station we would always watch when I was growing up. They are special. And not in the good way.
Also, there are approximately three people in the entire WSAZ viewing area who could pass a drug test so they all just really need to shut the fuck up.
The Cold Sea: +
The percentages in that screencap vaguely imply that only 9 people voted. Amazing that they could get everyone in West Virginia with internet access to participate in this one poll…
This poll has clear implications for policy-makers. Alert your congressperson!
However, you would get the same positive response rate if the question was “should welfare recipients be required to perform manual labor at your house for the rest of their, and their children’s, lives to earn their keep?”
So maybe West Virginia should just go fuck itself (possible??).
What? Nobody mentions that Bud is no longer a cheap ‘American’ beer? Ain’t it owned by Belgians or some other stinky, no-showering, teeth-havin’ Europeens?
Win win win to all with their alternative polls. If I were more awake I’d laugh more heartily but you have made me smile after that weird dream I had. Thank you.
queeraselvis v 2.0: I knew a West Virginian once. Mention any kind of roadkill, he could tell you what it tasted like.
Suggest your poll questions here:

Can you read?
A. Yes
B. No
C. Hamburger
BigBrainOnBrad: If you’re old enough to bleed, you’re old enough to breed.
That site is annoying what with its duellingbanjo.mid file that I can’t shut down.
We need more drug testing, and not just for welfare recipients. If we had more drug testing, I might get better quality mary jane
hobospacejungle: Belgians took over West Virginia?
Naked Bunny with a Whip: Word on the street is Charleston has high quality mulch.
Should free 40 oz. bottles of Budweiser be handed out to hard-working white people in West Virginia?
-Yes, monthly
-Yes, weekly
-I prefer ‘tall-boy’ cans
Somehow the fine folks of West Va strike me more as Olde English 800 fans.
LittlePig: Busch Natural, in a 40.
LittlePig: ProfessorJukes: Not even - they’re into the big green Mickey’s Big Mouth 40s - the only malt liquor preferred by toothless redneck bitterz who’d rather vote for McWALNUTS! than “that nigger NObama”
Down here in Lee County, Florida the local paper has a poll also. I reads like this: “Should Unemployment Recipients Be Drug Tested”? 85% of on-line voters answered YES. I would tag if for ya but I’m too high.
And this is why:
1) I make my own damn beer, bread, porn and (as soon as Obama approves it, “in the name of America’s energy security, industrial competitiveness, and environmental stability”) weed;
and 2) I wouldn’t drink that Budweiser horse-piss at gunpoint.
user-of-owls: Actually, apparently national comedeians can do what they want, too. Leno is winning that poll. http://www.wsaz.com/polls?pollID=41078687

Yes, let’s institute $300 weekly drug tests for welfare recipients. This is a very logical use of bitterz money. I’d rather be sure people are “clean” than “fed”
