We’ll be featuring polls regularly, but like Heather Mills and her food line name, we’re keeping the content secret until it’s launched.

So be on the lookout in the next week to give us your lovely opinion. In the meantime, here’s a little warm up for your future patriotic duties:

“Do the things you can do. Stop paying the slaughterman. Stop paying the factory farmers. Stop supporting the corporations that are destroying everything. And everyone can do that.”

—-Chrissie Hynde, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, on how anyone can take actions that preserve the planet, including reducing the consumption of meat.

The election countdown has begun. Okay, so maybe, depending on how fanatical you are, you may have been counting weeks ago, but with less than a week remaining until a new Pres is named to take the helm in D.C., everybody’s getting their 2 cents in, including celebrities, during these last days.

Henry Rollins, who’s resume includes singer and songwriter, stand-up comedian, spoken word master, book author, band founder, and publisher put more than a few cents in to Time Out Mag on his political views, including the Republican “wealth trickles down,” theory:

“[Republicans]They like big business, they believe in the trickle-down theory, that we are supposedly going to eat the crumbs that fall from Caesar’s mouth at the big feast. I would argue that they have very good crumb catchers to make sure you get less and less. And so, I think the good sense falls with the Democrats.”

Instead of feasting on crumbs, Rollins stay healthy by juicing and eating a lot of soy protein. “I don’t eat red meat. I don’t eat pork, lamb or chicken,” he said.

Russell Brand isn’t known for his saintly behavior or tact. Some might find it funny, but many find his antics and comments offensive. So when people found out he was on the cover of Peta’s Vegetarian Starter Kit, a flood of phone calls and email were sent to the organization by some who didn’t want him associated with the introduction to a meat-free life.

As if Peta wasn’t contraversial enough already.

The latest offensive act, which is the reason people are protesting his appearance on the kit, involved making an on air prank phone call to the home of actor Andrew Sachs.  The call involved leaving an answering machine message stating he, in words we’ll rephrase to keep us from getting blocked from “safe search,” had sexual relations with Sachs granddaughter. Go here to get the uncut version.

Brand was forced to resign from the BBC “Radio 2″ show and issued an apology, but in a sarcastic way:

“I would like to take this opportunity to issue a personal Russell Brand apology to Andrew Sachs, the great comic actor who played Manuel, for a message Jonathan and I left on his answerphone, but it was quite funny.”

But hey, it was a joke right? Besides, they belong to the same club.

“The cover will have him on it because Mr. Sachs, who is also a Peta supporter, has accepted Mr. Brand’s apology, and that’s good enough for us,” said Robbie LeBlanc, Peta’s director.
