I think Obama thinks that we should dig his cool choices. His scooping up Jones makes him proud as a television network producer is proud to scoop up some raw talent. And that's what they have in common: an appeal to pure entertainment. Coffee house revolutionaries will love the over-the-top antics, the risque language, the whole shtick. They will drink their coffee and lattes in safety and laugh. A sign in the house of revolution should say: Get your unmolested, free range, enviro-green coffee beans here with every new book about the evils of Capitalism and Bush. Do the right thing America. Be cool.
"I think Obama thinks that we should dig his cool choices."
Bingo. Where would he be without his hipster Starbucks coffee house supporters?
