(Just kidding: my browser remains unpoluted by Redstate. So may it ever.)
As a supplement (B-side, if you like) to DrSteveB's ongoing "Demographic Tuesdays" series, and in the absence (so far) of an entry in that series for today, I offer this diary, with skymutt-like expectations for its success. Though I am continually amazed by DrSteveB's ability to find yet another interesting demographic question each week on which to poll the Kossack community, I'm ready to move past all that superficial religion and race stuff to truly measure our deepest personalities.
Simple thinking (in which I find myself mired in the morning) has it that there are basically two types of people in the world. A seemingly infinite variety of paired polar labels can be applied to these two camps, but I'll allow the song currently stuck in my head (no hints) to propose the terms today. And so it's time, Kossacks, to throw open a tiny window to your soul:
Beatles or Stones?
Allow me to forestall a bunch of "Neither, they both suck, [Name of Band] rules!" comments by stating that this diary is primarily intended to measure the aggregate allegiance of the Kossack community as between those two bands, so please just move on to the next diary if you can't stand either one.
Ever since the first days of the British Invasion of the early 1960s, "Beatles or Stones?" has represented a classic division in musical taste. To try to update it for the present day would be, I think, pretty much impossible. What am I going to do, ask you which American Idol candidate you like best? American Idol already does that. And I don't care anyway.
So take a moment, please, to pull a lever in the poll below. (It's much easier than trying to choose between thirty-one separately listed flavors of mainstream Protestantism or "Islam/Hindu/Buddhist/Wiccan/Satanist/Worshipper of Moloch.")
And where do I stand, in case anyone cares? Goo goo goo joob, friends.
