Rejection

I submitted this for the Lists section of McSweeney's but it was rejected. I still think it's kind of funny so I've decided to share it here:

Interview questions for a presidential candidate, who also happens to be the guy who stole my girlfriend.

By Brian Riley

Where do you stand on the abortion issue?

Do you have a plan to address the rising cost of gasoline?

What is your position regarding America's involvement in the war in Iraq?

Why did you decide to ruin my life?

Seriously…you're running for President. You couldn't find a girl who wasn't already in a relationship?

Does the fact that I'm crying right now make me look like a wimp?

Will you please tell her to call me? I, uh, have some of her stuff over at my place and I want to know if she wants it back. Totally innocent conversation…I swear.

Nearly 47 million Americans are currently without health insurance. Do you have a plan to address this and the growing cost of health care for all US citizens?
