Lately I've been watching a lot of the The West Wing - it's been refreshing and hope-instilling, reminding me of what effective, open, honest governance can yield. It is also a fascinating show about politics and how political processes and governmental processes in this country operate.
Another bit of fictionalized politics that is coming out is Recount, HBO's movie that forces us all to relive the days after the 2000 Presidential Election to remember what happened in Florida, consider the motives and tactics in play, and think critically about how things resolved. From all accounts it is a fascinating take on recent political history - that is, if you can detach yourself from the subject matter enough to appreciate the story they are telling. Here's the trailer:
It premieres Sunday Night - I wish I had HBO... and a blanket to hide under.
