I'm obviously in the minority here, but I never could really tolerate THE WEST WING or WEST WONK as I call it.

I once cursed it as an unhealthy time-sink that sucks moderates and liberals into a fantasy world where their candidate actually won the election, excusing their inaction in real life to do anything about the banana republic we actually live in. I further suggested it lulled them to sleep once a week like a narcotic, sapping their resolve to actually confront the harsher reality of a rapidly evaporating democracy.

I don't really feel that way anymore, but I do think it's just a silly wish-fufilment thing.

Joe Hill would have said:
"Don't fantasize, organize!"

Now I'm gonna get it, right?
