Our local paper has a "Man on the Street" feature each week. Four poor suckers get their picture published with their answer to some scintillating question.
What's your favorite season?
What movie would you recommend to a friend?
Do you miss licking stamps or have self-adhesives made a positive change in your life?
You get the picture. Today's question actually broached the boundaries of current events: What do you look for in a presidential candidate?
The answers:
"He has to have a Godly character." (Awesome! That would be so cool if the Pres. could send down a plague on North Korea!)"Honesty." (When Jimmy Carter admitted "I have lusted in my heart," I decided I could live without total honesty in a President.)
"That they are their own person. Not a puppet." (As long as the puppet is working to lower my taxes, I don't care if a Republican, Democrat, or Big Bird presides over Easter Brunch at The White House.)
"Honesty." (Folded under pressure from hard-core journalist and copied answer from lady in square two.)
What do I look for in a presidential candidate?
Good hair.
