Is V Anti-Obama?
Commonsense & Wonder —
Ill be watching V tonight with the election results streaming on my laptop: Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care. The news media swoons in admiration -- one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: "Why don't you show some respect?!" The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut ...

... Posted on November 4, 2009 So, ABC does a remake of the 1980’s mini-series “V,” turning it into a weekly show. Cool. Space monsters. Classic formula. Imagine this . At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care. Actually, the up front leader is a she. And, she does make all those sorts of “we’re the space aliens, and we are here to help.” Of course, in the ...
