I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

But does this sound as bad others as it does to me?

Yeah. There's the obvious racial undertone, and given that I, a college-educated white person, heard the soundbite as I was pulling in to the park & ride to go to work, I also thought, "Excuse me, are you saying those of us who went to college don't work hard?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Excuse me, are you saying those of us who went to college don't work hard?"

Well, college graduates are elitists, so we don't matter.

Yeah, but we're modest so we don't try to bring it up a lot.

Muppets Debate Clinton vs. Obama

World-famous puppet "roommates" Bert and Ernie have a heated political discussion in which Obama emerges the victor, suggesting rumors of faltering gay support for Hillary Clinton are more than just rumors.

I don't want the muppets discussing candidates and choosing sides!

HC's comment just read too much like "hey poor to middle class whites with possible racial issues - stick with me."

This article about tabloids covering Obama and Clinton is depressing as shit. To wit:

“You can’t get much better drama than what we’re seeing on the campaign trail,” said Charles Lachman, the executive producer of “Inside Edition,” the syndicated entertainment newsmagazine. “It’s the greatest reality show on television.”

I can't put my finger on why it bugs so much. I mean, I guess there is the almost inherent confusion of reality vs. reality TV. But ugh.

During the 2004 campaign, editors hardly paid attention to Senator John Kerry or President Bush. Ms. Min of US Weekly said she ran a single spread about a celebrity fund-raiser for Mr. Kerry. “That was about as large as we went in terms of covering that campaign,” she said. “Covering John Kerry just felt not so fun.”

Yep. The fun factor. That's why we have the bozo we do for president right now.

Because real issues are affecting real people and that jackass is acting like something that touches peoples lives in a very real way is entertainment?
