You have some very sharp individuals that post here. I would be careful before casually throwing out that particular gauntlet (as regards your closing capabilities).
Given that we as of late have seemed to drift from the RE mainstream (discussing Ron Paul, gender roles, etc), I would pick something related to RE, but perhaps more geared towards monetary policy/monetarism, the influence of the FED and the repercussions of FED policy, etc, etc, etc. You get the drift.
