Some poor jackass even recently suggested that Cheney/Palin would be the ideal Republican ticket three years from now. Honestly, how mentally deranged would a human being have to be to come up with that combo? I can just see the campaign posters:<br /><br />SICKIE DICK AND FASCIST BARBIE IN ‘12<br /><br />Oh, please, fate! That would be a dream come true! Not even the American people would be silly enough to go down that road. Could it actually happen? Alas, probably not – my luck has never gotten that good and probably never will. But what a treat it would be, huh? I could get an endless supply of material out of a campaign that weird to keep me quite busy you may be sure.<br /><br />And what if they won? While it would be a disaster for my fellow country men and woman, for someone like me whose vocation is mining the streams for these choice nuggets of unintentional political humor, that would be like winning the freaking lottery, are you kidding me???<br /><br />BUT WAIT! IT GETS BETTER! Two years into his term, President Cheney drops dead from a massive stroke while shooting ducks that have been strategically placed in the White House swimming pool by the Secret Service. In less than an hour SARAH PALIN IS SWORN IN AS THE FORTY-SIXTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! By this time I am beside myself with disbelief at my good fortune! “I’ll never have to touch a computer keyboard again as long as I live!”, I am telling everyone within earshot, “These things will just write themselves!”<br /><br />[PROLONGED SIGH]<br /><br />But of course this is merely a wishful daydream on my part. As the heroine of the long-forgotten Broadway production “Sky Scraper” once musically asked:<br /><br />Why in the world would anyone look askance<br />At an occasional fight of fancy?<br /><br />http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com<br /><br />Tom Degan<br />Goshen, New YorkTom Deganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911175264811957550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-8677599830818848652010-01-14T12:59:47.623-05:002010-01-14T12:59:47.623-05:00Ron Paul should be in the poll.Ron Paul should be in the poll.TheSanPintoTimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618877484964426456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-37346708040649320432010-01-13T21:34:43.790-05:002010-01-13T21:34:43.790-05:00Please poll whether conservatives and/or Republica...Please poll whether conservatives and/or Republicans would prefer Osama bin Laden to President Obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-26189927477548919432010-01-13T00:56:55.746-05:002010-01-13T00:56:55.746-05:00Ask whether they believe Saddam Hussein was involv...Ask whether they believe Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9/11 attacks?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-77040387151360036882010-01-12T17:54:33.775-05:002010-01-12T17:54:33.775-05:00There has never been a poll on whether people thin...There has never been a poll on whether people think fertility doctors should be allowed to try to conceive a biologically-related child for two men or two women. <br /><br />I think that wording, with the mention of fertility doctors, brings up the scene and the issues involved better than asking about a gay couple's right to attempt to conceive together in a general way that leaves out the labs and scientists and technology involved and might just express sentimental feelings.<br /><br />You should also ask if people have heard of Kaguya the mouse or knew that scientists had created fatherless mice. <br /><br />And ask their opinion on designer babies, transhumanism, postgenderism (whether they think it would be good if science enabled future people to "escape" gender and not be limited to being one sex or the other).John Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15367755435877853172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-85574023853159185342010-01-12T16:38:12.483-05:002010-01-12T16:38:12.483-05:00Outside the box - Can respondents name the Speaker...Outside the box - Can respondents name the Speaker of the House.
