Rossputin.com Rational Thinking About Our World

Two days ago, I offered some required reading for career politicians. Today, I suggest the following excellent article by playwright, author, and director David Mamet, entitled "Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal'", printed in the Village Voice (where it should get a good reading by many who have not left that camp.)

If you take a look at the movies (and plays) that he's written or directed, I think you'll find some you've seen...and maybe didn't know were Mamet's work. He (along with Shawn Ryan and Mamet's sister, Lynn) are the brains behind one of my favorite TV series, "The Unit".
