Fun With Politics
By Claudia Lynch, Benchmarks Editor (lynch@unt.edu)
What could be more political than the First Lady's hair? At Hillary's
Hair Web site (http://Hillaryshair.com/)
you can immerse yourself in the arcana of Hillary Clinton's hair. See
"Hillary's Hair - The Video," watch "Mighty Morphin' Hillary," draw
your own Hillary's Hair, get the Hillary Screensaver, and even listen
to the First Lady's brief reaction to the site.
Fun with a purpose
If you want to have a little more serious fun, you might like to try
the game Reinventing America II. This game, found at
http://pathfinder.com/reinventing/,
lets you run the country your way.
The game began in July, 1996 and will continue through January,
1997. You can join at any time. Players will be reviewing everything
the federal government does and a pretend Congress will act as the
players direct. At the end of the game, in January, the players
decisions will be compiled into the Reinventing America Federal Reform
Act. This document will be presented to the real Congress and to the
nation at a press conference in Washington, D.C.
Stump the politician
Hard-Q of the Week (http://www.wp.com/HARD-Q/)
allows you to query the 1996 presidential candidates. According to the
information at the Web site, "You can ask the 1996 presidential
candidates the questions that Larry King and the New York Times won't.
Since our site serves as a major town hall - perhaps 50 million persons
will be represented by the questioners' organizations - we expect
candidates to answer the Hard-Qs on their home pages." If no answers
are given, Hard-Q promises to take them to task.
