Sean "P.Diddy" Combs is slated to host a political talk show on MTV called "Project Change". On the show Mr. Combs is planning to quiz George Bush and John Kerry on the concerns of "real people". Puffy says he'll search Harlem, Brooklyn, and Detroit for "real people off the streets" to question the two candidates. We here at Standard Deviance are always looking to be ahead of the curve, thus we have already hit the streets of Brooklyn to find out what the people want to know:

John 41, of Prospect Heights:
"Hey, Mr. Kerry, lovin' the tan. Anyway, what up with Alexandra? She's slammin'! Anybody tapped that ass yet?"

Regina, 23, of Carroll Gardens:
"President Bush, I have the upmost respects for your positioning in Iraq. Here's my question: Who are you picking to win American Idol? I'm feeling like Diana's gonna win, she's my Italian sister and all. But LaToya has a sultry thing going on. Whaddya think?"

Kwesi, 30, of Bedford-Stuyvesant:
"This is a question directed toward both candidates. I've been researching the recent employment reports to determine the economic situation of our country. While non-farm payrolls increased by 288,000 during the month of April, unemployment rates have remained constant. Can each of you please give me a detailed synopsis of your plans for revitalizing this stalling economy? Additionally, y'all want some long distance calling cards? They're only 5 cents a minute to the Caribbean and Canada!"
