It’s the Only Way to Be Sure

It always vaguely surprises me when a celebrity appears to be paying attention:
”I don’t have a candidate I’m supporting and I’m certainly interested and excited by the hope that Barack Obama is inspiring,” he said, but went on to accuse him of a “phenomenally inhuman and unconstitutional” voting record.
Not that I’m accusing Sean Penn of a capability for actual reasoned discourse, but it is refreshing to see an avowed liberal who has not fallen completely into the Obamessiah’s thrall.
Natalie Portman, however, should plead youth and exhaustion and retire to her trailer:
Portman, 26, said she would not be endorsing Obama or his rival, Hillary Clinton, but added: “I think it’s a very exciting year for our politics, that for the first time in a while we have a choice of who we like better instead of who we hate least.”
No, dear, it’s the same as any other year. Either a Communist, a Socialist, or a Democrat with (likely) a Theocrat chaser? We should nuke the site from orbit.

I know this is terribly (cynical? something else?) of me but though I think Sean Penn is a total horse’s ass, at least he 1) thumbed his nose at a Nanny State smoking ban; 2) said “All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine.” and 3) Shivved Tim Robbins in that other really, really dark flick he starred in.
So with the above Obama quote, I contend unlike many in Hollywood his life has had at least some minor redeeming social value.

And really? That’s all I ask of my Liberal friends: Just stay out of the thrall. In fact, that’s all I ask of my Conservative friends, too.

“How come they tell us kids there aren’t any monsters?”
Well, there really are.
“They come out mostly in politics…mostly.”

Thank God for TiVo. That scene was the only thing worth watching in that Charlie-Fox…

Why in God’s name do we vote for people to represent our interests that we wouldn’t hire to babysit our kids?
