There are all sorts of political polls in the American newspapers these days. And this blog has not sponsored a poll of any sort since acquiring its "mexpatriate" moniker a year ago.
So, in the spirit of the season, I offer the year's first mexpatriate poll.
The page has a new design. But, depending on your browser, you may be getting a completely different experience.
If you are using Internet Explorer, you will most likely see a green, white, and red banner flash on the screen, to be replaced by.
If you are using Chrome or Firefox, you will see the banner I originally intended to show.
I concluded there was a problem when several comments referred to the simple look of the banner. Even though the background is new, it is not that much different than the banner it replaced.
There appears to be no way to remedy the issue with Internet Explorer. It simply will not show the background. Rather than merely nuking it, let me ask your opinion. Which would you prefer?

- Let diversity reign. Readers can choose their own view by choosing the appropriate browser.
- Fix it. Let everyone share in the simplicity of black and white journalism.
The poll is to the right. You have until Thursday to register an opinion.
Until then, the world will simply roll along.
Note: Not surprisingly, 89% of the readers who voted in the poll chose to leave the banner as it is. That is what I was incllined to do. At some point, the banner will be revised. It is inevitable.
