Last night's Emmys wasn't it.
All art will have some element of politics if the artist is at all politically sentient. Casablanca has plenty of anti-Nazi propaganda, right?
We do talk about politics here but not exclusivity and we make no secret of our loathing for Hillary! The reader knows what their getting into.
[Man, if I could go back in time and tell myself to chose another writer-Ed]
But we keep our straight opinions out of our books.
As we said all art will have an element of politics. We have a world view and it comes through. Israel is inherently good. Readers of World War 1990: Operation Eastern Storm will notice that we don't much care for Pat Buchanan. A reviewer of World War 1990: Operation Arctic Storm thought the Battle of Nome read like an NRA ad. To Survive the Earth has a story full of pistol packing Girl Scouts.
Actually we have a habit of criticizing those on our side. New Gingrich will make a cameo in World War 1990: The Final Storm and he is ridiculed.
So Stephen Colbert turned the Emmy's into a political rally. Steve, other people used to politicize their art. You seem kind of familiar with them:
