The Queen's Meme #106 ~ The Political Caucus Meme
Welcome To The Queen's Meme #106
7 Royal Questions on Tuesday
It's caucus time in the good ole' USA. We're trying to elect a Commander in Chief this year. Whenever I hear the rhetoric known as American politics, or business-as-usual, I try to remember that I'm really after someone of leadership and honesty. Hard to tell these days. Hard to tell.

What is the meaning of a caucus? By definition in U.S. Politics it is "a meeting of party leaders to select candidates, elect convention delegates, etc."
It's the "etc" I'm worried about. We seem to be talking about a lot of etcs these days. Can't anyone say what they mean and mean what they say? Bonnie Raitt said it best. They should listen to her.
For purposes of this meme, let's focus on these political forces: Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman. I submit these questions to be of vital interest and importance to the welfare of our country. And let's hurry.
By the time we all finish this meme, someone else could drop out.
Or move to China.
The first United Farmers of Alberta legislative caucus in 1921.
1. What topic would you like to see the candidates discuss that they haven't already discussed?
I'd like them to cover how quantum mechanics and general relativity find unity in string theory. Alternately, I think they should all swap their favorite recipes.
2. Which one of these men would run in and save you and your family from a burning building if he knew it would cost him the election?
Wait, first I need to know which one knows the Heimlich maneuver because I started choking when I laughed at the idea while eating pretzels that ANY of them would sacrifice themselves in such a way. Fortunately, I can self-Heimlich (that's what the kids are calling it these days).
3. Who is the best dressed candidate?
For what are they dressing? A debate? A romp in the Oval Office with an intern? Taking a call on the Batphone?
4. Who would be the best hostage negotiator?
My money goes on Pat Paulsen and he's been dead since 1997.
5. Who has the prettiest and most First-Ladyish wife? (look for the nails..)
I dunno but the only good thing about the potential of Michele Bachmann being elected (I just shuddered in horror even typing that) would have been seeing Marcus' inaugural gown.
6. Which one of these men would you trust with the nuclear code?
Oh dear God, my PTSD....the tics are starting again...
7. If I, Queen Mimi, invited one of them to Bloggingham for dinner, what should I cook and what question would you like me to ask him?
Invite Rick Perry. Don't cook at all just do some tequila shots and ask him to recite the Bill of Rights.
