Or, "Get a grip, Martin Sheen."
So I was watching the Emmys on Sunday night, and Martin Sheen had a little blurb about how The West Wing was not a partisan show. Really? I'm one of the biggest TWW fans there is, a certifiable Wingnut, and I know better.
Good writing? You betcha. Great acting? Oh, yeah. Compelling drama? Check. Awesome television? None awesomer. Non-partisan? No way.
So, sorry, Mr. TV President, you couldn't have it wronger. But I agree that decisions are made by those who show up.
Which is why I have to run along and register to vote.
The half-witted, half-baked, half-mad ramblings of a widowed, forty-something, earth-loving, commuter-cycling, theatre-going, runner-girl Christ follower. Abandon seriousness, all ye who enter here.
What are we talking about today?
I'll get back to theme days once I find a groove of posting regularly. In the meantime, most of my posts are about some variation of books, bikes, buses, or Broadway. Plus bits about writing, nonprofits, and grief from time to time.
This blog is mostly lighthearted and pretty silly. It's not about the terrible things happening in the world, but please know that I'm not ignoring those things. I just generally don't write about them here.
