Star Wars is overrated: Blasphemy or truth?
May the Force be dissipated. Seriously. Let it go already. And as that happens, may mentions of "the Force" also fade away, except in the case of big-city cops talking about their place of employment. Maybe I'm late to the noticing party, but I feel...

Politicians could use lesson in today's popular culture
We identify with popular culture more easily than we identify with politics, that's why pop culture is so popular, and a lot more interesting than government affairs.
