World: Daily poll: Like corruption? Vote for the most corrupt country!

  • First, we apologize for the late poll. Today was a slow news day and there wasn’t a lot of really pollworthy stuff. Anyway, today, Transparency International released its Corruption Perceptions Index for 2009, which is a survey of the most corrupt countries in the world. The top five are fairly obvious, if you follow the news. But what are we if not people who offer you the opportunity to vote?! So vote for the country you think is most corrupt. We left an option open for you to pick your own country. So go for it, kids. source

U.S.: Daily poll: Is medical marijuana a whiff of the future for pot?

  • Last week in Portland, Oregon (that bastion of hipsterism and indie rock and Elliott Smith shrines), a pot cafe opened up for medical marijuana users. Its the first of its kind in the country, and pretty much the only place it would really make sense at this point is on the West Coast. Anyway, with this new barrier broken, it’s about time to take stock – will pot usage be straight-up legal at some point, or will it at least be accepted? Vote above. source
