Thank you, gentlemen. Seriously…how are we supposed to expect the world to take us seriously if every fucking time we turn around everyone’s got their TV tuned into Surivor: DC - Will the general get voted off the island? Stay tuned! But first, a word from our sponsor, BP.

The problem is that modern politics is a personality parade, a version of American Idol. The focus is always on the personal squabbles, whom one likes or dislikes and what they think of each other. Issues and policy take a back seat to all this nonsense. Gossip sells the newspapers.
