Thought for the Day

I know many people would prefer that actors and musicians and other artists would just butt out of politics. I happen to think we should want to hear the views of creative, talented people. It doesn't mean that you always have to take them seriously. But in this instance, I think Orson Welles (1915-1985) was on to something with this comment:

"Popularity should be no scale for the election
of politicians. If it would depend on popularity,
Donald Duck and The Muppets would take
seats in senate."
