I'll give Tik a 4 on baristas and a 3 on housekeepers : you just covered the basics, but didn't put too much effort in it.
Cheesepizza shall have a 2 on flying cars, and it would have been a one save for the guillotine.
Now why is the sky blue my fellows ? Actually, the sky hasn't always been blue. In the ancient days, before the Middle Ages, there were only three basic colors, and they were white, black and red. All other colors were a combination of these one. Blue, was a type of red that would have been deviated towards a purple tone, with a touch of black. So, you see, actually, the sky in those days and in the minds and writings of those people was made of nuances of black and red. It is still black at night by the way, and you know that the Sun is really some kind of red, so that makes perfect sense.
And in the political symbolic, what trends are embodied by the colors black and red ? Yes, you nailed it. Black is anarchy, but it is originally "organized anarchy", the revolutionaries of the French 19th century used it as their flag, and floated it on Paris city hall in 1830. To copy them, the communist revolutionaries adopted a color of their own : and what color could possibly serve that purpose better that the other color of the sky, red ? The red flag is tainted by the blood of the innocents, I'll grant you that, but it's also certainly the color of the Sun rising upon the world.
So you can now fully understand why the capitalist bourgeoisie needed to implement the idea that the day sky was really not red or black, but blue, which they chose as their symbolic color nowadays. Your inversion of the colors of the left and the right, that dates back to only 2000, is rather heretic in that prospect, and the media pundits that enabled it should be hunted down and shot. Maybe they would bleed blue blood...
So, why is it that you can't lick your own elbow ?
