President-for-Life Bachman has just been re-elected...

…(unanimously, of course), and as a gift for her loyal [del]subjects[/del] constituents, she has [del]decreed[/del] sent a bill to congress that would [del]require[/del] allow for the unwilling transport of miscreants, ne’er-do-wells, bums, hippies, and all other icky people to a planet quite similar to Earth, except for the fact that it really sucks, it’s both too hot and too cold, the animals are mean, the water is dodgy, and people have to pay exorbitant taxes (for which they receive bupkis).

She has also decided that you fit the criteria.

You can bring with you whatever you can physically carry, by yourself, for 10 paces, and I don’t really care what you bring.

But Mrs. Bachman has magnanimously deigned that you will be allowed one, O-N-E, item of resupply after one year in an amount equal to the total weight of your original items.

The catch is you have to decide what that item will be before you’re forever exiled.

What would you choose for your resupply?

You can make your own suggestion, or you can argue against someone else’s suggestion.

As for me, it might be MRE’s or maybe gasoline (for my scooter).

So, what would your choose?

Absolutely NOT a General Question. Moved to IMHO.

Hm. This may have been better placed in IMHO.

A nuclear device permanently targeted on her and her alone.

I choose to have transporters to earth supplied to me.

A time machine so I can stop the villain that created this abomination of an alternate timeline.

Glenmorangie.

The head of said PFL [retch] Bachmann, of course.

Oh, c’mon. She’s just going to make the election process more entertaining and that’s all. I, for one, am thrilled that she won the Iowa straw poll. The thought of her making it all the way through to the general election and debating Obama is too tantalizing to ignore, long shot though it may be.

But, OK, supposing the hypothetical question stands. Let’s see…

Hey, the planet you’re describing IS Earth, if Bachmann gets elected!

I could probably carry Ms. Bachmann. I’ll need a year’s resupply of Bachmann Kibble, of course.
