Is everything under the Sun political?
Why did the woman playing the President in the new season of 24 and The Garofalo feel it necessary to talk about their feelings on toture before the new season premiered? The Garofalo actually spoke of her reticence about the role because the producer of the show is a “right-winger”.
Is this necessary to say, or can we live just one moment of our lives without bringing up politics? I realize the political nature of THIS blog, but its a blog. I still watch television, go to concerts, drink beer, etc. without it turning into a ragefest against liberals. Its really hard, however, when a professor feels it necessary to disparage my beliefs to get class started off on the wrong foot, or SNL continues in their breathless quest to destroy Sarah Palin because she’s… I still can’t figure that out, actually. I just don’t hate people because of their accent, gender, or level of success. For that same reason, I’d like to have a beer with Obama. I really doubt we’d talk politics at all.
I may ask him to cure me of leprosy, however. (I don’t really have leprosy. Its a test!)
