I never imagined I would have to create a category for politics. Meanwhile, the love category stands by diligently without being used once.

Johnny - Don’t get political. It will ruin you. We want our scruffy bon vivant, not a bitter, jaded bleeding-heart liberal!!

That’s my job.

I was tempted to post a crack about Jodie Foster fans and their relevance to the planet, but I don’t want the Feds to get on Johnny and BW’s backs (unless the Feds look like Spencer Quest and Jake Deckard). So I will abstain. But I’m sure you get the general idea.

Johnny, I also prefer living my life in a state of blissful political denial. However, as I am edging towards senior citizenship status by MTV standards (age 24) I am feeling a greater need to scratch political itches. The news you provided is the exact reason why we all should remain guarded. Not to mention our status as second-class citizens. In fact, I am beginning to feel more like an illegal alien in my own country. I wish I could pull a Mel Gibson and buy my own 7,000-acre private island in the South Pacific. Do you think President Bush could spare some change?

Johnny, you should check out Maureen Dowd’s book “Bushworld.”

Maureen is a columnist for The New York Times and has covered the White House since the first Bush administration. Her views on Bush 42 will help you relax, because at least you’ll see smart, witty, and influential people are on our side.

You can also check her out here.

“Influential people”? I don’t want to get political [I can hear BW in the distance tearing out his hair: ‘Goddamnit didn’t I tell you, Johnny!!!’] I just find myself wondering more and more how many Watergates it takes for the influential people to start stirring things up. I take it right now they’re on summer holidays, or maybe not that influential.

(This is not meant to sound like a rant. Just a little croaking from my side of the pond.)

It shocking what goes on, I’ve got myself a degree in politics and the whole time I was just in shock at what I was learning. There’s so much more going on that we will never find out about - one lecturer told us that for every snippet of information we know and find out about politicians and politics there will be a Bible’s worth that we don’t. That is the shit that scares me.

I don’t mind Johnny getting political. One of the reasons I love this blog is the insight it gives into Johnny’s mind. I think as long as it doesn’t turn into wonkette or the huffington post, it should be OK!
