Jack & Jill Politics

cross-posted to baratunde.com

This is so exciting! Tomorrow I join a panel of some pretty cool people talking about some pretty cool things on the BBC programme (see how I spelled it all British-like?), Newsnight Review

Panelists

• Me
• Ron Silver (actor/director and has his own political radio talkshow)
• Kathleen Parker (syndicated columnist) – yes THAT Kathleen Parker
• Joe Queenan (film critic/author).

Topics

• What’s happened to American culture under the Bush presidency. How did TV, film, literature and music respond to Sept 11th?  Or the Iraq War?  Is there more political diversity in the arts now?  Would Obama or McCain be better for the cultural life of the country or does it not really make a difference?

Then review items

• W the movie (which I did not like)
• Generation Kill – (which I love!).
• Toni Morrison’s new book, A Mercy

If you have thoughts on any of these things that I can appropriate as my own, jump in!
