Ye Gawds I AM a political geek

I'm watching the correspondents dinner arrivals, etc, and almost all I seem to recognize are the pundits and political faces. I can maybe name one or two hollywood ones, like Diane Keaton or George Clooney, but the rest are a blank. However, I can pick out a senator or congressman from either side in an instant.

Guess I don't watch enough network tv. Or, any network tv.

i'm the same way. and it sometimes feel like living in different worlds when you talk to people who have no idea about some senator or someone that you are aware of .

Not because I'm a snob - I'm just too old to care. I understand where you are coming from.
