Questions about Election 2008
I shouldn't be dipping my toes too much into the political realm, but this upcoming election has generated some light-hearted questions in my mind:
- I see posters up for something called "Bangkok Dangerous." Is it promoting a new Nicolas Cage film or Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's abstinence-only sex-education program?
- When did "celebrity" become a four-letter word?
- Did Barack Obama make a two-point conversion when he spoke at Invesco Field in Denver last week? Or did he just stick with a safety? Why weren't there more bad football references made about his speech?
- Much has been made of Palin's foreign policy experience via proximity (apparently because Alaska is close to Russia, outer space and Santa at the North Pole). Is there a deliberate effort to avoid mentioning the great white menace of Canada?
Please feel free to submit your light-hearted questions as well.
