Number 16 Like a Rock

Boldly going where no Congress has gone before in the previous 35 years Gallup has been asking the question, the 110th edition fared the worst yet with poll responders, only 12% of whom expressed any confidence in the body. Congress finished dead last among 16 institutions surveyed. The military finished first.

"In the latest update, Congress ranks just below HMOs, for whom 13% of Americans express "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence. Big business, the criminal justice system, organized labor, newspapers, television news, and the presidency all receive relatively low confidence ratings."

Rest of story with cool graphs we can't seem to publish right now, here.

UPDATE #1: As if to provide confirmation of their lowly status and to prove that no idea is bad enough to not be supported, Nancy Pelosi has indicated that she is in favor of reindoctrinating, err.... reintroducing the Fairness Doctrine to the broadcast airwaves.
