Broken Wing

Election uncertainty

In the days leading up the election, the rhetoric is getting fierce and the speeches more intense. All the accusations and charges being flung back and forth can be tough to keep track of. Even more difficult is verifying the accuracy of all the claims being made. Websites like FactCheck.org and Spinsanity have biases towards a "fact-based reality", while ignoring subjective values that gods and demons may instill in us. With all these competing entities, who can we turn to with our political confusion? Look no further than Ashton Kutcher, star of such wonderful television fare as "That 70's Show" and "Punk'd."

That's right, Ashton Kutcher has finally broken his long silence and taken a position on the 2004 presidential election. He appeared at the Sports Pavilion on the University of Minnesota campus Tuesday for a rally with John Edwards. One reason for his appearance is an attempt by the Democratic party to win the hearts and minds of single young women and hopeful young gay men. Another reason is that Kutcher's speeches make John Edwards' seem chock full of substance by comparison. Also in attendance was Jeff Tweedy, lead singer of Wilco, who fortunately was able to make it through the whole rally without firing a band member or having to check into rehab.

So far, no word on who Topher Grace and Wilmer Valderrama are endorsing for president. Posted by mill1991 at October 27, 2004 10:20 AM | TrackBack
