ironymaidenthe other day a friend sent me a forwarded email from Michael Moore. in it, he said that people were asking him who he planned to vote for in the upcoming primaries. he seemed to think that people asked him who he was voting for because they wanted him to tell them who they should vote for. and maybe that's true. but it means that there are a bunch of sheep out there just looking for a loud fat shepherd. (gun culture didn't cause columbine, pop culture caused columbine- all those boys did was carry out the violent fantasy of every geek teen of my generation. i remember thinking that i was impressed that they went through with it and then how to revise the plan to be much more successful. so we fight guns, and not preferences for economic and sports prowess, because we can make sound bites about it and band-aid laws. the truth about what hurts young people is too difficult for Americans to stomach, and too complex to attempt real change.)
Dennis Miller now has a show on MSNBC. he also is being quite forward with his political selections. (he's become a bitter, bitter man. and he's not really able to use his failures as material, but he keeps trying. and the semi-obscure references are starting to feel like a contractual obligation. but i'm glad people keep trying to find a niche for him.)
these men are entertainers, and the fact that they have a pulpit to speak from does not mean that what they say is gospel. in fact, i think they have no right to attempt to peddle political influence. Michael Moore is on a mobius strip with Rush Limbaugh, and i want both of them to self-promote and name drop at home.
shut up Ted Danson, Martin Sheen, and Meathead. people aren't listening because they care what you say, they're listening because you're fun to watch. that's all. you only affect the weakest minds - and they will change them when someone else attracts their attention.
for all the actors that i know personally, JUST SAY NO.
