Politicians who wear little tennis socks with the balls at the back should not be taken seriously.

I don't think everyone should vote. If you have to be dragged into the polls, carried into the polls and smelling salts have to be used, you probably shouldn't be voting. However, we shouldn't be putting up barriers to voting that target certain groups.

Digital television, satellite radio, videogames, iPods - so much media. Do books even matter anymore?

It's much easier to make jokes about sensitive issues if there is some dissent, some conflict.
