sorkin kept me comforted during the bush years with escapism, but also sane with some sense of what the world could/should be like. which for many of us was not a pacifier, but a reminder not to let things go.

some people i met doing campaign work got into politics inspired by that show actually. i mean, anybody can protest and smash windows and sign petitions (lol petitions), but actually governing is a totally different story, and that show attempted to show how the grownups did it--yes, idealized, but still, also educational.

santos for america!

lol anyway it's nice to see real adults in the press room again.
