DC Feels Like an Episode of Lost

As a dedicated fan of Lost, the ABC television thriller, I sometimes see the show's weird island as a metaphor for the perplexing issues and events that the whole country faces in real life.

Which gave me the idea for this little video...

Craig Crawford is a creative guy. He should have his own show on MSNBC. I like his folksy good nature and charm!

I have to agree. What kind of alternate universe did we enter in to?

While I have to agree I sometimes look at Washington and feel like I'd prefer the clarity and reason offered by a particularly byzantine episode of "Lost" I feel I have to point out I sometimes feel similarly after watching television news (I'm lookin' at you Crawford of MSNBC).

Although I'm very pleased that MSNBC seems to be attempting to forge a new kind of cable news identity, I still must question the priorities of broadcast journalism, at times. Sensationalism and repetition are everywhere.

Oftentimes I watch a broadcast compare it to having an ice cream sundae: it's tasty, it's fast, but ultimately, just a bunch of empty calories.

"Lost" is too confusing for me but DC and the politicians and their proposals remind me of a movie about an insane asylum, a good one at that, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest". There aren't many government officials who play the lead role, either.
