Twenty Questions for Our Times
Syracuse Post-Dispatch
By Bob Gaydos
With the death of local newspapers, the co-opting of major media, the widespread fake news on social media, and the daily torrent of lies emanating from the White House and the Republican Party, it is often impossible these days to know what is actually going on in this country and the rest of the world. Therefore, I present here a list of 20 questions for our times. Honest answers would be welcome.
The Questions
- Where in the world is Mitch McConnell?
- Is he dead or alive?
- Why did his wife go to China?
- When and why did Marco Rubio turn in to Lindsay Graham?
- Could Trump pass even a basic cognitive test today?
- Will legal gambling and “probability betting” eventually destroy sports at all levels in this country?
- Who killed Jeffrey Epstein?
- How badly has Netanyahu fractured the America/Israel connection?
- Are there aliens (non-earthlings) living among us?
- What is the biggest threat from Artificial Intelligence?
- Should the president be elected by popular vote?
- Why does anyone care how fast a baseball leaves a major league stadium?
- What religion will J.D. Vance convert to next?
- Where in the world is Chuck Schumer?
- Why are so many Americans, all the descendants of immigrants, so afraid of immigrants?
- Has Putin already lost the war in Ukraine?
- What will eventually replace the soulless Republican Party?
- Should Supreme Court justices have term limits rather than lifetime appointments?
- Should cursive writing still be taught in school?
- How could anyone vote for Donald Trump TWICE?
Feel free to respond to any question and to suggest any of your own. The list can grow. Remember, we’re all in this together.
