So it’s Sunday evening, and I figure I’ll turn on the TV and relax for a little while, but I sure don’t want to watch the so-called “People’s Choice” awards, where I expect they will claim that the “people” have chosen Michael Moore.
No, I turn on “Boston Legal” where the plot is about an immigrant from Sudan who has become vastly wealthy here in the United States but he is upset over the genocide in Darfur and so he wants to sue – the U.S. government. (I kid you not.)
The attorney tells him he is unlikely to prevail and, what’s more, the butchery in Darfur has been widely reported in the U.S. but, she adds, it’s clear that, “The American people don’t care.” (I kid you not.)
I’m turning off the TV now. I’m going back to work.
