Another Alex Balk Quote of the Day
I seem to be stalking Alex Balk today. The best writing on the web these days is being done by gay men. Certainly the smartest. In terms of sheer wit, you really can’t beat the bloggers at Radar or the commenters at Gawker.
This quote isn’t particularly witty, but it gets to the heart of what’s wrong, and right, about politics right now:
Who’s more annoying: the idealistic kids who think Barack Obama will bring us into a brave new world of transparency and change, or the hardened adults who think they’re speaking truth to power when they remind you that Barack Obama is just as cozy with corporate interests as anyone else who’s ever been in the position to be elected president? — Alex Balk, 6-9-08
Sigh. I guess I need to add Alex to my stalking tag.
12:01 a.m.: I’ve been Balked.
