Link
1. In case you were wondering about the link between bad pop culture and bad pop politics, this is both funny and a little scary. One can make the case that both a certain teen starlet and a certain administration’s policies are washed up and on their way out. Here’s a link from Raising Kaine: Britney, Conservatism, and the Cost of a Servile Electorate.
How did Britney Spears, the living embodiment of unattainable, innocent, youthful excitement, become a worldwide embarrassment, fallen, pitiful, hapless, and lost? How did the movement of “Small GovernmentTM“, “Strong MilitaryTM“, and “Family ValuesTM“, produce a culture of ignorance, bigotry, and corruption?
2. Not Britney, not republican, and not a bad photograph.
