But one of our writers, Bob, has been thinking on it for a while now.

The challenge:
by "Everything you wanted to know about mooseburgers," Dan Gardner,
09.06.2008, The Ottawa Citizen
"And so it goes. I watched every night of the Republican convention and I still don't know what John McCain would do about climate change, the deficit, immigration or a dozen other burning issues but I did find out how he and Cindy met and fell in love and I learned that Sarah Palin's dad woke her at 3 a.m. to go hunting.
"Oh, and I discovered that Democrats hate ordinary Americans. Good to know." [Gardner, Dan; SOURCE]
"Aside from the partisan rancour John McCain promised to eliminate as soon as he finishes using it to get elected, the convention was dominated by the candidates' life stories. Like Olympic broadcasters, political consultants have learned focusing on the substance of the event -- whether pole-vaulting or policy-making -- isn't the best way to score with an audience. Stories are.
Stories about people. People who overcome tragedy and never lose faith. People whose high-school sweethearts stick with them through it all. People who never stop smiling, no matter how hard the road ahead. (Gardner, Dan; Ibid.)
MooPig Bob says: "Dan, It's a Playboy thing, heifers in the fields, fish in the sea... thingy, idiot's guide to lifestyle management stuff:"
"John McCain's story is as good as they come, full of courage and accomplishment, but it's also more human than the saccharine confection fed to the family values crowd Thursday night. Republicans would not, one assumes, have gone misty-eyed at the heartwarming tale of a married 42-year-old who leaves his first wife -- a woman who stuck by him through his five years as a prisoner of war -- for a 24-year-old beauty queen. And so in the tale told at the convention, the first wife was dropped down the Orwellian memory hole and, in her place, the audience was told the charming story of how, when John met Cindy, John told Cindy he was younger than he was and Cindy fibbed about being older.
"And with that little revision, the storytellers had their Hallmark moment.
"Is it offensive for me to raise details of John McCain's life which, I would agree, are irrelevant to McCain's candidacy? Well, that's another problem with this sort of marketing. It makes the candidate's life political. If the story about how John and Cindy met is political, so is the fact he was married."
all at the same time!The winner this year gets a unique Bulgarian Baba Hood, express mailed from the user.
