The "Make it Happen" Challenge
It's baaaack. "Make it Happen", the crowd-sourcing challenge to see if my big ideas can come to fruition thanks to the rich community of creatives, writers, artists, designers, inventors, scientists, architects, pharmacologists, techies, provocateurs, ethicists, military contractors, etc.
They came out of towns called nowhereville and obscurity to win the hearts and minds of the right-wing nation with panache and zeal.
The adorable Sharron Angle beguiled Nevada by not knowing the difference between Latinos and Asians.
Alaska's great white hope Joe Miller had a journalist detained for asking him questions. Just who do these journalists think they are anyway.
The bewitching Christina O Donnell put Delaware on the map with an amazingly cute impression of someone who doesn't know the contents of the Ist Amendment.
Then there is Rich Iott, would be representative from Ohio, who didn't so much do an impression, but rather "acted" out being a nazi. In his defense the black SS Uniforms did make him look a lot thinner.
And finally New York's Carl Paladino emphasized the guber in gubernatorial by emailing videos of women having sex with horses.
If there truly is a god then we'll be seeing all of them take their rightful places in Washington D.C and Albany.
But what if they lose. What then? Once in a lifetime talent like this shouldn't just be allowed to disappear quietly into a November night.
What career platforms can we create for these very special people that will allow them to continue to shine brightly in the hearts and minds of the American public?
THOUGHT STARTERS:
- Is there an opportunity for Marvel Comics to create a new band of superheroes featuring our lovable tea partiers. The "Fringe Five" could fight the tyranny of big government, the evils of Obamacare and the sneakiness of Latinos who look Asian.
- How about Joe Miller opening up a chain of hunting reserves around the country, where there is only one kind of prey. Journalists.
Good luck and make it happen, people!
