Writer's Block: Invention

"If you could invent one thing and make it a reality, what would it be? Why?"

A real sonic screwdriver, exactly like the one Doctor Who uses. I don't need to explain. Either that or a GUI based data system like GE's financial service system for Bally and other `green screen' systems that automatically sets up the club membership number when a person dials in, like they do at Visa, and allows you to do operations without keywords and green screens, except in the case of server crashes.

Writer's Block: In charge of the country

"What would you change about your country if you could be in charge for a day?"

Apply all frivolous government spending to the national debt. Pull all troops out of Iraq and build up the home defense unit. Develop new techniques for hunting down web based terror cells so we won't go on wild goose chases through the Middle East.
