Making Politics Interesting again

As funny as this is (I hope no one is offended), I think this video conveys a deeper message.

This video comes from a group called Barely Political. You may indirectly know them from such great work as the "I got a crush on Obama" video. As funny as many of their videos are, I think there is something to be said about what this indicates about our culture. Politics is becoming more accessible and understandable to younger and younger generations. And not just accessible, but interesting. The abundance of sites such as Barelypolitical.com and the popularity of shows such as the Daily Show and the Colbert Report illustrate how much people are beginning to care about the ethics and machinations of politics. The average man no longer has to feel excluded from the political system.

As ineloquent as this post may be, something must be said for the fact that politics in the U.S. has become entertainment. The days when politics were just for the politicians, and one blindly cast their vote for democrat or republican are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

On another note...

The writers of this blog apologize for sporadic nature of posts as of late. We know that many of our readers check once or twice everyday, and we promise to get better soon. There have been some technical difficulties that are being ironed out as we speak.
