At least they're not bringing his comic-book leftism to the screen.

Yeah. I would not have been able to hang with the guy if he had been outright stealing necklaces in that one episode. The fact that they turned out to be stolen to begin with, and he was returning them to their rightful owners, made it okay. I think the show espouses a fairly conservative viewpoint. At least, I don't remember being offended by it before. And, in an interview, Allison said she thought a lot of the show's success owed to the fact that it has a strongly pro-America, pro-values message to it. I'm not in the habit of disagreeing with the lovely Miss Mack. ;)

When are they ever in class, or did I miss something?

I think they mentioned that the school was closed down due to the events of Dark Thursday or Dark Tuesday or whatever it was.

Nor am I. If you remember the storyline last year that had Lex running against Jonathan for the state senate seat, they never mention parties even once. However, it was obvious that Lex was the big-business, anti-environment Republican, while Jonathan was the pro-environment Democrat. It wasn't overt, though.

Oh, okay. That makses sense.
