1. Which political party do you typically agree with? Democrats, about 40% of the time. Republicans, about 20%, neither, about 40%. Blind partisanship is for fools.
2. Which political party do you typically vote for? Usually Democrats.
3. List the last five presidents that you voted for. Gore in 2000, Clinton in ’96, wasn’t old enough before that.
4. Which party do you think is smarter about the economy? Neither, really; I’m convinced the movement of the economy has little-to-nothing to do with the actions of the government.
5. Which party do you think is smarter about domestic affairs? Democrats I’d say; despite their own special-interest dependence I agree with them on most social issues, and disagree with the vile theocratic aspirations of many Republicans.
6. Do you think we should keep our troops in Iraq or pull them out? We’ve gotta keep them there until a government is established, or else we’re looking at a Rwanda situation. But I don’t think we’ll be there more than two or three more years.
7. Who, or what country, do you think is most responsible for 9/11? Bin Laden and al-Qaeda for actually doing it, and Afghanistan for shielding them. Peripherally, Saudi Arabia and maybe Pakistan. But Clinton, Bush, the CIA, and Rudy about as “responsible” for 9/11 as Milli Vanilli was “responsible” for “Girl You Know It’s True.”
8. Do you think we will find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Unless they’re buried somewhere, probably not. Maybe there’s a weapon or two here or there, but no “stockpiles.”
9. Yes or no, should the U.S. legalize marijuana? It should be legal to buy it, legal to own it, and if you’re the proprietor of a hash-bar, legal to sell it.
10. Do you think the Republicans stole the last presidential election? I think we’ll never know who really won Florida, and the Republicans didn’t steal the election any more than Gore would’ve if he’d come out on top.
11. Do you think bill Clinton should have been impeached because of what he did with Monica Lewinsky? No, of course not.
12. Do you think Hillary Clinton would make a good president? Not any more or less than any other fourth-year first-term senator.
13. Name a current Democrat who would make a great president. John Edwards, Harold Ford, Jr., or Russ Feingold.
14. Name a current Republican who would make a great president. John McCain, Colin Powell, or Rudy Giuliani.
15. Do you think that women should have the right to have an abortion? Yes.
16. What religion are you? Jewish.
17. Have you read the Bible all the way through? Only the Old Testament.
18. What’s your favorite book? “Bonfire of the Vanities,” by Tom Wolfe.
19. Who is your favorite band? The Beatles
20. Who do you think you'll vote for president in the next election? Kerry. Grudgingly.
21. What website did you see this on first? Norbizness/Norbiznass!
Note: Sick of memes like this one? Jeremy’s got an anti-meme of his own:
1) Stand in front of your DVD or VHS collection.2) Find the movie that's closest in the alphabet to your first name.
3) Fast forward to 8:39 into the movie.
4) Post the next line of (intelligible) dialogue into your blog.
Here’s mine (guess the movie and the character):
“Yes, I saw the Terrence and Philip movie. Who wants to touch me? I said WHO WANTS TO FUCKING TOUCH ME?”
