Thursday. Survey. Thurvey. Answer any, all, or just give a totally unresponsive answer, which is totally acceptable during an election year. Type your responses or non-responses in the comment box below, including your name if you wish to claim your opinion, click the "publish as" drop down menu and choose "anonymous," click on publish, and your done. If the comment box does not appear, simply click on "comments" below this post. Show the Supreme Court that you don't have to wear a black robe to publish important opinions this week . . .
#1 National Geographic conducted a survey about which presidential candidate would best handle an invasion of extra-terrestrials. Steven Colbert suggested a survey of which candidate would you prefer during a zombie uprising. What "Survivor" or even stranger kind of test would you like to see the candidates face in order to test their readiness to lead?
#2 Yesterday's post concerned drinking the Kool-Aid. No matter your political bent, or perhaps in other areas of interest, it is common to be frustrated by others who you feel have accepted a load of horse puckey as the gospel truth without giving their ridiculous belief any thought. What flavor of metaphorical Kool-Aid drives you nuts, political or otherwise?
#3 What is your favorite non-metaphorical Kool-Aid memory?
#4 The State of Alabama was ranked number one in another bad way this week. The lung cancer rate among Alabama women is the highest in the nation. On the positive side, two of Alabama's beaches were ranked as among the top five cleanest beaches in the country. And, the State ranked high in reading improvement nationwide. In your opinion, at what is Alabama among the best in the country? The worst?
Be creative. This question is only open to Alabama residents. If you live in another state, tell us about your home.
#5 With temperatures in triple digits the next few days many of us will prefer air conditioned pastimes. What book or movie do you want to see this summer? What have you read or seen that you recommend? Any other cool entertainment venues or events around your neighborhood that you would recommend?
#6 The Supreme Court issued decisions this week that addressed corporate campaign contributions, appropriate punishments for juvenile felony offenders, immigration, water rights, and are scheduled to publish the opinion on the Affordable Health Care Act today. (Interestingly, three of these are directly related to Alabama). What is your general impression of the Supreme Court, if you have an impression at all? In which decision this week were,or are, you most interested ? What prior decision of the Court interests you the most?
#7 What question of your own do you want answered this week?
.
1. Which candidate could survive an entire weekend in the infield at Talladega?
ReplyDelete2. The Foster Freeze, of course.
3. Alas, they're all metaphorical.
4. Alabama is best in denial, worst in forgoveness.
5. The Dark Knight Rises. Either the book or the movie.
6. My general impression of the Supreme Court, untelevised by C-SPAN, is that of a reality show on radio.
7. Who put the bomp in the bomp pa bomp pa bomp? Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong?
1. Work as a cashier in Wal-mart in a small town somewhere between Montgomery and Dothan in mid-July. Perhaps lawn and garden. Or the sport section.
ReplyDelete2. Free market
3. Eating the kool-aid mix out of the packet.
4. Best at kudzu, worst at self-help.
5. Prometheus, and I'm feeling illiterate, not a book. An excuse.
6. Tried not to think of them since December, 2000
7. How bout this heat, huh?
#1 Dressage horse basketball. Fair for all except the horses.
ReplyDelete#2 VHS
#4 No. 1 at . . . c'mon, we all know that one. Worst? Public Relations judgment.
#6 SCOTUS. Don't really have an answer. Just wanted to type SCOTUS.
