A shocking percentage of Lou Dobbs viewers agreed with... woops!

Poll results not scientific (but idiotic)


News item: Call it the smoking jalapeno. After nearly two months of mystery, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has identified a jalepeno pepper that is contaminated with the same strain of Salmonella saintpaul that has sickened more than 1,237 people in 43 states.

It's the first time during this outbreak that a test has found the salmonella strain in a piece of produce.

The discovery, which will be announced shortly by FDA, was made at a packing plant in McAllen, Texas, according to a source familiar with the issue. The pepper was grown in Mexico, the source said, but was sent to the U.S. for sale. Authorities are not sure where it was contaminated with salmonella.

Obviously... the FDA is lying to make Lou look bad.

Wow, what a bad poll question. Anything over 3% disagreement with Lou has to lead to someone being fired.

This is not a scientific poll (but it is richly and sublimely idiotic)


Heads will roll.
