econwizard: Desperate White House Lives

About Me

Location: Massachusetts, United States

My "I" is constantly changing (perhaps this is merely AD/HD): overdetermined nexus of cultural forces emanating from several continents: skeptical of all Truths and seeker of the truth: iconoclast by enculturation, brain chemistry, and, perhaps, choice: perpetually perplexed, particularly about why we exist/ as the manifestation of overdetermined forces whose existence (and nature) is not as solid (or simplistic) as we would like.

Desperate White House Lives

From what I've seen of the new Football Sunday version of West Wing it should be renamed West Wing Lite. This is barely a shadow of Aaron Sorkin's West Wing with its clippy, play-like dialogue and ripped from the Washington Post story lines. This show isn't even up to the standard being set by ABC (yes, Disney's ABC) with Commander in Chief, which is also well below Sorkin's standards. But I guess such is the life of the boob tube. Devolution is the order of things. Commercials take up an increasing percentage of broadcast time, production quality has generally declined, and so-called reality (not really) dominates. Thank goodness for books and, if the brain isn't functioning or you just want that Zen moment, DVDs.
