question of the day: What White House position will Big Bird hold in the inevitable upcoming Romney administration?

Fri, Oct 05, 2012

Hey, Mitt said he likes Big Bird. Obviously the President-to-be is angling to put Big Bird in an important job in his White House! Secretary of State? Ambassador to Narnia? And what will the first Avian-American to hold such a position do in the job?

In other words, what Questions of the Weekend should I get on the slate? Do you want to know about our tastes in food, fashion, or fun of the non-movie and non-TV variety? Should we talk about hopes and fears? What silly stuff should we be sharing? How serious should we get?
