Scott Rasmussen and his poling outfit do an excellent job of keeping us up
to date with who’s on first in our national elections. Other times he peels
down unto the culture to bring us such jewels as this morning’s findings
that 69 percent of American adults are following reporting on the demise of
the company that made Hostess Twinkies. A remarkable 31 percent of Americans
(many of them with crumbs on their shirt-fronts) tell Rasmussen they are
following the story “very closely.”
Perhaps this national preoccupation with a soon-to-be-unavailable sugary
delight explains why we encounter so many pie-wagons when we venture to the
mall. On other stories there is less attention being paid. Take Benghazi (
please). On the available evidence, it would appear that a majority of
American believe Benghazi is the name of the late character actor who played
tough-guy roles in “Anatomy of a Murder,” “The Bridge at Remagen,” and
“The Thomas Crown Affair.”
With these priorities, it’s not hard to explain the current twinkie in the
White House. |
