We Don't Care

Reuters: Sixty-five percent of Americans have no interest in Prince William's pending marriage and only a small minority are paying attention...
Four percent of 1,058 people questioned in the 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll said they were interested in all of the wedding and wished they could go and 21 percent considered it a "harmless spectacle."
So if "four percent of Americans" tune in to CNN to watch this generation's royal wedding, they'll have a ratings bonanza of 12 million viewers. Not bad. And no, I won't be watching.

Poll: Full Body Scanners Okay

Washington Post: Nearly two-thirds of Americans support the new full-body security-screening machines at the country's airports, as most say they put higher priority on combating terrorism than protecting personal privacy, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
64% of those who took the poll supported the use of full body scans. My guess that that at least 95% of those 64% don't normally air travel.
