i turned on the sound on the tv, and now i’m totally annoyed because all the news stations have projected numbers for delegates winning – and they’re all QUITE DIFFERENT. annoying. i could stay up all night to find out what really happened, but would that be a wise decision?
probably not.
and then i flipped onto the show “project runway,” where these designers or wanna-be designers have to make different kinds of outfits and then they get judged by celebrity judges like heidi klum, and one of them gets kicked off every week, just like all the other reality shows involving doing something and then getting kicked off…
and it occurred to me how interesting it would be if we made candidates do that kind of thing. not necessarily designing an outfit, but doing whatever. different things – sure, why not design an outfit, and maybe sing a song, try some dancing with the stars, bake some kind of fancy dessert, play some poker, be on some kind of quiz show.
forget about voter apathy, just think how many people would tune in, how many of them would call up and vote. what better way to decide an election than having people vote from the COMFORT OF THEIR OWN HOMES?
maybe if i stay up late more often i’ll come up with more brilliant ideas like this.
ok, maybe it wouldn’t work entirely, but it would certainly be fascinating to watch the different candidates singing. and then, in addition to the audience voting, they could also be critiqued by simon, paula and randy. brilliant, i’m telling you.
i’m pretty sure barack would win the dancing contest. if you look him up on youtube, there’s a great clip of him dancing with ellen on her ellen degeneres show. he looks good.
i wonder if any of the candidates would be able to bake anything, though. something simple and clasic, like chocolate chip cookies. remember that comment that hillary made a long time ago, about not staying home and baking cookies? she got into a lot of trouble over that; maybe since then she’s tried it. i somehow can’t picture her baking cookies.
i should really really go to sleep now.
