hermionesviolinBackground: a former co-worker gifted me a 2x3ft dry-erase board, and another former coworker posted weekly polls on it -- which task I inherited upon her departure, though I've been doing them monthly.
Yesterday I realized that as we approach May that means a new month and thus I have to come with a new poll. I was thinking of JT's "It's Gonna Be May," which, in thinking about songs to welcome the month of May got me thinking of Jonathan Coulton's "First of May" (NSFW), and so just now I Googled "songs about may" and (a) there are a surprising (to me) number of songs, (b) one of the hits was The Nation's "Top 12 May Day Songs: In tribute to all those planning actions for May Day" and I am a bad labor ally 'cause I always forget that May Day is a labor thing until the Internet starts reminding me right around May 1, but now I'm like, "In honor of May Day, vote for your favorite labor revolution?" (Extra-ironic since I work at The West Point of Capitalism.) That question turns out to not actually work that well, but I'm open to other labor movement poll suggestions...
