Pollish jokes in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• A Gallup poll showed 64 percent of Americans don’t care if President Barack Obama appoints a woman to the Supreme Court; plus, 68 percent and 74 percent don’t care if Obama names a Latino or Black person, respectively. “It is unclear how much the average American knows about the current demographic composition of the Supreme Court,” noted the editor-in-chief of the Gallup poll. “Still, as was the case four years ago, the current results suggest that — for whatever reason — there is simply no large groundswell of demand from the American public for the appointment of a new justice” who is a woman or minority. The figures probably jump to 100 percent among respondents on Madison Avenue.
• Craigslist, apparently responding to public pressure, is dumping its “erotic services” ads. However, the naughty classifieds will be replaced by an adult category that will be patrolled by site employees. Candidates for this new role can apply through the “erotic services” section.
• The Circuit City brand and website were sold at an auction. Maybe craigslist will rename its “erotic services” section as Circuit City.

The public is shrewd here, not caring if a justice is of a race or a sex.
The real issue is age discrimination.
Or Obama would name Lawrence Tribe.
