Who Would You Vote For If You Had to Vote Right Now?

That's a tough call, Mr. McEvily. Where do you stand on the issue of Nicki vs. Mariah? Or, should all reality televsion be banned, or is it a valuable source of material for writers?  Should Iron Maiden be allowed to retire in five years, leaving the world stuck with the dreck of corporate radio, or should America dominate stem cell research--along with cloning--so that public figures can continue to inspire us for something close to eternity? And what ever happened to the No Writer Left Behind Act?  Convince me--convince US--Mr. McEvily, that you can solve these relevant issues (in four years) and then, maybe then, you'll have earned our vote.  

[Robert McEvily]

I lean towards Mariah.  All reality TV should be banned except Survivor.  Iron Maiden had their day; we need to move on.  No cloning - just original people.  NWLBA - I'm working on the second draft - NO GOOD WRITER SHOULD EVER HAND IN A FIRST DRAFT!

[Jenni Marie]

Don't forget about "Breaking Amish". That's high quality TV. ;) I am addicted. 

[Diana E. Backhouse]

There's no contest, Rob! Can either of the others lay claim to a top-notch website like 6S?

[Robert McEvily]

NOPE!  NO WAY!!

When was the last time we had a president with facial hair?????

[Robert McEvily]

That would be William Howard Taft (1909-1913).  100 years is long enough!  Let's bring facial hair back to the White House!!!

Where do you stand on the designated hitter rule, hmm?

Where do you stand on Choice -- that is, can we Choose to exceed six sentences by stretching our prose with semicolons?

Should our tax dollars go to help support National Public Radio (she says as she listens to Car Talk)?

Your answers will determine my vote.

• Pitchers should hit.  Let's kill the DH.  (And why the heck are all pro pitchers crappy hitters, anyway? Unacceptable!  Especially since Little League and High School pitchers are usually great hitters. They need to practice more as they get older!  Did you see how Barry Zito helped himself & the Giants last night with that awesome surprise bunt?  CASE CLOSED!)
• An occasional perfectly-placed semicolon is delightful; overuse is amateurish.
• Yes indeed.  (And I'm glad Congressman Ryan didn't dis Bert and Ernie during the VP debate.)

[Ray Carbone]

Yes, Rob - Zito did good. And reminds us why baseball is the source of such great writing, especially when compared to other American sports.

As for Bert & Ernie - Yes, "long may they wave'. 

ALSO, appreciate the 'creativity' video post - I think many of us run out of time before we get to "good."

Best wishes, Ray

[Gita]

DUDE! Yes! Kill the DH!  As much as those pitchers get paid?

Dang right they should get their own at-bats. You got my vote.

"C" You're the bomb.
