Dear GYA, It appears that the "media" has been releasing some polls showing that things like dog poo are more popular than Congress. But as we all know, you can read those things however you want. For example, the latest polls actually show that approval ratings for dog poo are down and that a "dog poo covered Congress" is up to a whopping 49%.---But you don't hear about how Congress approval is up, do you? Anything happening this weekend better than a highly approved dog-poo-covered Congress? -Sen. Mike Lee 

Senator, Recent polls also show that approval for a "drive your congressmen out to the desert and leave him for dead" poll question is also up to historic levels, but no one is reporting that, either. Here's what's up this weekend, starting with Friday's events:
