Thursday again. Time to survey. The Thurvey is open for business and looking for a piece of the public opinion pie that has been selling like hot chicken sandwiches this week. Don't waffle . . .try. If you have soured on public discourse, here's your chance to make sweet lemonade out of the lemons of the week. Just enter your answer to any or all of the Thurvey questions, in the comment box below, click on the "comment as" drop down menu, click on "anonymous", and click on "publish." I feel a good Thurvey coming on . . .
#1 This one may take some effort, but I have confidence in you. It has always been tough for the socially conscious consumer. Do we buy the world's coolest shoes made in the world's hottest sweatshops? Do we by gasoline from a company that burned the people of Africa? And now this whole Chick Fil A thing. . . Maybe fast food places and other businesses should just go ahead and identify themselves with a political or moral position. Chick Fil A could go either way. Chik First Amendment Filet, or Chik Feeling Homophobic Today, depending on your viewpoint. Be creative. What politically revealing names would you suggest for popular businesses? Humor will score higher than relevance here . . .
#2 The Olympics have been great. Which Olympic events would you like President Obama and Governor Romney to compete in, either separately or against each other? Why? Predict the winner. Be serious on this one . . . not really.
#3 August is here. The Alabama legislature gave us a couple of extra weeks before school will start again. What would you like to do for the last fling of summer?
#4 There is a campaign under way to let Blount County vote on whether to make the sale of alcoholic beverages legal . . .a "wet-dry referendum." Here's your soapbox . . .or whiskey barrel. Step up and take a stand. Even if you don't live here.
#5 As summer begins to wind down, what fresh fruit or vegetable will you gorge yourself on because it won't be around much longer? How do you best like to eat it?
#6 What question of your own would you like answered this week?
.
Why Olympic medal winners owe so much in taxes because they won. Saw this morning where USA winners so far owe over $350,000 in taxes. This is a public outrage. Comments?
ReplyDeleteThe Romney campaign should be get a tie-in with Burger King. Both Have castles and are the home of the whopper.
ReplyDeleteIn a test of bipartisanship I would love to see Romney and Obama team up for synchronized diving. Of course they couldn't beat China in that either.
ReplyDeleteIncome inequality would fit right in with Gap. Income Gap. Get it? Reasonably priced clothes for the non-rich. Or Gender Gap. Just not sure how to use that one.
ReplyDeleteWould like to see Romeny and Obama on the basketball team. They would really complement each other. One can go hard to the left, one can go hard to the right, the middle is always open. No doubt Romney owns the bank and Obama is great with the assist(ance). Obama is always waiting for the rebound. Romeney's weakness is that he can't handle the press.
ReplyDeleteWatermelon. Squash.
ReplyDeletePeaches, fresh peaches.
