On pancakes and politics

I, too, was a bit miffed by Summer's none-too-subtle assertion that to become well informed one must read left-leaning (or irresponsibly left-leaning) publications. And what ever happened to good ol' newspapers? Or blogs? Would it have killed them to drop an "Instapundit.com" in there? No. It would not have.
Y'know, Gilmore Girls turned me off this exact same way. Rory's Fahrenheit 9/11 posters; Lorelai's dubbed-in-post, snarky comments about wars for oil. Listen, masters of teen-skewed post-modernist self-referential dramas featuring hot chicks and equally hot moms (I'm looking at you, Kirsten...don't give up on me, baby): I'm sick of your polemics!
I do, however, appreciate the new, more revealing wardrobe for Lindsay. And if I were Sandy and Kirsten, I totally woulda still eaten those pancakes.

UPDATE: And don't anybody even try to step to me with your "Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an allegory for the struggle of feminism or modern-day teens " bullshit, cos I'll smack that weak cork right out the park, B-Bonds juicer stizz, and give it the full-moon salute (Randy Moss stizz) on the way out. Ferreals. And that show sucks ass anyway.
