With the election only a few weeks away, I figure it's time to take Tony's Honest Blogger Survey (including KittyB's additional questions). It's intended for a US audience, which makes it twice as fun:
1. which political party do you typically agree with?
I have a difficult time agreeing with parties ... ugh, I don't really think my views are well represented at the moment ...
2. which political party do you typically vote for?
NDP
3. list the last five presidents that you voted for?
In a parliamentary democracy you don't vote directly for the head of state.
4. which party do you think is smarter about the economy?
You have to give them credit, the Liberals have done a pretty good job in this area, all things considered.
5. which party do you think is smarter about domestic affairs?
NDP
6. do you think we should keep our troops in Iraq or pull them out?
We should keep our troops out for now. Wait & see the results of the transition.
7. who, or what country, do you think is most responsible for 9/11?
Iraq & Saddam Hussein ... ha ha, kidding. Little boys playing children's games were responsible.
8. do you think we will find weapons of mass destruction in iraq?
I found this spoon, sir!
9. yes or no, should the u.s. legalize marijuana?
Sure.
10. do you think the republicans stole the last presidental election?
Yes, BUT ... the vote was pretty evenly split, so you have to recognize that there is a deep division in US society that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, only having two major political partes doesn't accurately reflect the spectrum of political views in the US.
11. do you think bill clinton should have been impeached because of what he did with monica lewinski?
Maybe. It was a significant abuse of his power.
12. do you think hillary clinton would make a good president?
Probably not. Too divisive.
13. name a current democrat who would make a great president:
It's sort of strange how much time and energy the US spends on sticking a single person in office. The presidential election carries on for a year, right? Longer? We're electing a whole new parliament in the space of a month.
14. name a current republican who would make a great president:
And the desire to have a "great" person lead the country seems a bit unrealistic. Is 'greatness' such a great quality?
15. do you think that women should have the right to have an abortion?
Of course.
16. what religion are you?
I'm a confirmed but non-religious member of the United Church.
17. have you read the Bible all the way through?
I know people who have. Does that count?
18. what's your favorite book?
AKU-AKU: The Secret of Easter Island by Thor Heyerdahl
19. who is your favorite band?
Crap, favourite? I dunno.
20. who do you think you'll vote for president in the next election?
Like I wrote, in a parliamentary democracy we vote for our local candidates and the party with the most MPs elected forms the government. I will likely vote for the NDP to try and tilt the balance of power a little more towards the centre from the right.
21. what website did you see this on first?
tonypierce.com + busblog
Here's the Kitty Bukkake addendum:
1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog?
No.
2. Are the photos you post Photoshopped or otherwise altered?
No, except for the photo on my CAEC page. I airbrushed out a second chin.
3. Do you like it when creeps or dorks email you?
No. Yes.
4. Do you lie in your blog?
Constantly
5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?
Often
6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop?
Nope, I just stop.
7. Are you in therapy? If not, should you be? If so, is it helping?
Nope. Maybe a few years ago. Might have helped.
8. Do you delete mean comments? Do you fake nice ones?
No. I am tempted to fake mean ones. When I was the editor of a student newspaper I used to write mean letters to the editor trashing myself.
9. Have you ever rubbed one out while reading a blog? How about after?
Close, but no.
10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?
More? Less? Probably more, I'm much more easy-going in life.
11. Do you have a job?
Perpetual freelancer always living on the edge of complete ruin.
12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it?
Sure.
13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?
Haven't I met them all yet? I'd like to meet some US bloggers.
14. How many bloggers have you made out with?
Zero.
15. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have?
More.
16. Does your family read your blog?
Yes
17. How old is your blog?
Two years, three months.
18. Do you get more than 1000 pageviews per day? Do you care?
Not even 1/10th of that. A little.
19. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being depressed, slutty, or a liar?
Not yet.
20. Have you ever given another blogger money for his/her writing?
Yes
21. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes?
Money?
22. Is blogging narcissistic?
It better be.
23. Do you feel guilty when you don't post for a long time?
Not anymore.
24. Do you like John Mayer?
I don't hate him. But I'm not a fan.
25. Do you have enemies?
Only casual ones.
26. Are you lonely?
I'm alone. Sometimes it seems like it might be nice if there was more than that. But I don't think that counts as lonely.
27. Why bother?
'Cause in a billion years the Earth gets swallowed by the sun anyhow, so why not keep busy in the meantime?
