If Democrats intend to compete for support in "fly-over country," generating fresh appeal to hardworking, religiously committed red-state voters who shop at Wal-Mart without guilt, they must escape their identification as the party of Beverly Hills dilettantes and self-righteous celebrities. This means learning to live without Hollywood money, and focusing less obsessive attention on fighting Ralph Nader (or other radical leaders) for a handful of high-profile endorsements on the marginal left.

For the children, and all that...
Spears supported Bush, I am pretty sure.
Gosh, you're so "tolerant and compassionate" (sniffle). Honest to God, none of us here on FR had any idea what a kind, generous, tender-hearted person you really were (sob). Bless you, bless you, bless you.
You're right Sam, but how do you account for Spear's Lesbian smooch fest with Madonna and Christine? Maybe she'll say and do anything. I don't know how she voted and she certainly doesn't have a serious regard for marriage. For me the irony of all this is that both Spears and Christine were in the Mousekeeters and now they are both selling sex. What does that say about Disney and their family values image? And, to make matters worse, Madonna also worked for Disney at one point! I think Disney was a stepping stone for Spears and Christine to learn their devilish trade and make tons of money. Maybe Mickey Mouse is King Rat and Disneyland is... oops, I'm getting carried away here.
I like your tagline quote Albion... I wish I said that!
In a thread on an art forum that I frequent (Wetcancas.com), one of the moderators offered the opinion that portrait painting isn't that interesting, since the subjects are usually wealthy, and therefore generally have "bovine, vacuous" expressions on their faces.
I got the guy really ticked off by pointing out that his remark was bigoted. Naturally, no one else agreed with me on that, since they were all artists. Or maybe they just didn't want to upset the mod.
I honestly don't know much about Spears, I don't even watch TV, except very occasionally. Could she have been surprised by the lesbian kiss by Madonna?
I don't think I mind sexy dancing or whatever as entertainment, though. The question might more be whether or not Spears is actually all that sexy...maybe not, I have a feeling.
Argh,
Insert a minority into that sentence and you have a very ugly statement.
Yeah, true.
I pointed out exactly that, but the guy seemed to think bigoted statements OK when applied to politically correctly selected groups. But that is fairly consistent with leftist thinking.
