Questions designed to make you think ...

If romance novelist Danielle Steele is such an expert, why is she on her fifth marriage?

If a tree falls in a forest and there's no one around to hear it, does it still make a sound?

If a man's alone in a forest and there's no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

We've found that, when we raise tuition, less students attend. If we lowered it, would MORE people come, and so raise total tuition revenues?

Has this thought ever crossed the collective mind of the Board of Regents?

For that matter, does the Board of Regents have a single mind among them?

When someone votes against the Constitutional Convention, does that make them ConConCon?

What will it take for the Democratic Party to lose the governor's office? Evidently, it isn't enough that Ben Cayetano unilaterally withholds state paychecks and takes credit for an imaginary surplus.

Would Cayetano himself have to bulldoze the entire university system in a mad, hallucinogenic craze?

Would elder voter in this state even care if he did?

Why do they call the miniature candy bars "fun-sized"? Wouldn't that be a better description for a candy bar the size of a banyan tree?

Why do they teach the phrase, "Do you know English?" in foreign language classes? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Why does the Libertarian Party keep trying? Have they still not gotten a clue?

As for the two percent who did vote for Peabody (the Libertarian candidate for governor, do you think they just confused him with the talking dog from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show?

Isn't it ironic that, after spending all that money trying to be governor, Linda Lingle is now, for all intents and purposes, unemployed?

Does she, as an out-of-work politician, qualify for unemployment?

If she does, wouldn't it be better for us all to lay off the whole lot of them?

Ben Cayetano won reelection in 1998, despite the financial problems in Hawaii and budget cuts that raised UH tuition by 40% in 1996.

Linda Lingle would have to wait until 2002 to become the first Republican to be elected governor since statehood.
