I always liked "The Emperor's New Clothes". It'd be interesting if that's the show the judges of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Idol Games will choose for the final, or even semi final performance for the candidates. And to see what kind of interpretation and performance the finalists will bring to the audience.
In all seriousness, I wonder if it's just me that find it increasingly strange that politics in the N.American continent seems to be stuck in constant campaigning mode, and campaign lengths seem to grow longer. It doesn't even seem like a half joke anymore to say the campaign for the next election starts 5 seconds after you win the office.
Anyhow, Ted Cruz has officially announced his bid to run it seems. Only reason I mention that is because of the Canadian connection. Mr. Cruz is legally a U.S. citizen, and he was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Not as impressive as Obama's trifecta feat of simultaneously being born in Kenya, Indonesia, and hailing from the lizard galaxy. But still pretty impressive considering.
