I am neither religious nor a conservative but I appreciate dialogue on controversial issues. The blog on Matthew Parris and the church I found fascinating. I am also gay and an agnostic but not a conservative although I hold many views that my liberal friends wouid brand me as conservative. I was surprised that you would incorporate News Busted into your blog. Art should not be considered art if its only merit is pandering to the converted. There has to be a twist through irony or poignancy that engages the mind to a higher realm. I am not saying that you believe comedy has to be art, but i hate when the left’s comedy is grandstanding and devoid of transcendence. I would appreciate your views on this.
Interesting comments. Not sure what you’re saying when you say NewsBusted is “pandering to the converted.” I guess that is true, because they know their audience: conservatives. Conservatives will find Jodi funnier than liberals do, although I’m sure even liberals would find some of her jokes funny. The Doonesbury comic strip panders to liberals. I’m okay with that. I get ticked sometimes. But I also think it’s funny and read it every single day. I’m not sure I’d call NewsBusted art. However, I think comedy can be art when it is done intelligently. I like movies. I think it is much harder to make a good funny movie than a serious drama. It’s hard to sustain humor for two hours. Bottom line: you may be over-thinking NewsBusted. I would very much like to hear more from you regarding Matthew Parris’ comments. I read elsewhere where he commended Christianity’s missionary zeal for helping people in Africa (he’s from South Africa, I believe). Please come again, please keep commenting.
