doonesbury's point

this week Trudeau put our a series based on the storyline about the classroom presentation about an iraq war amputee. during the presentation, two students were shown quibbling about their presentation grades will suffer because of the emotional and metaphoric content of the "anti-war" presentation.

this is not unlike the media out there who are ignoring the substantive issues to focus on the glamour and glitz of their own self-importance. this is not unlike the administration that continuously ignores all reality and creates issues for itself that are designed solely to focus a nice feel good light on them. reality has become too much for us so we simple fall back on our adolescent moments of being able to get our own fifteen minutes of fame for not reason except to have it. blogging is like that.. so many blogs are outthere because people just want their moment.. and their moment is more valuable and more important and more REAL than all the world going on around them...

i think kerry and the left and the anti-war movement and so forth simply need to dress up their messages in all sorts of fashion and frills and glossy graphics.. then the media will fall all over itself to be the ONE that gets that hot new novel story.. hehehe. aaaahh yes the novelty of real life has worn off and the residual tarnish that is the ruination of the environment and human spirit, and peaceful harmony.. yeah that must be it.. get glamorous, gushy, happy smiling faces to talk about how totally cool war is and how we can all just really ignore the environment.. you know.. paris hilton brings you the happy news from our successes in iraq... brittany spears reminds us to care about how we shop stepping through a clearcut to a new fashion mall.. this could be a cool way to get these message out there.. mmmmm
