Regardez! Claptrap!
A Creeder Reader sent me an essay in which a Mr. Guy Hasson seeks to explain why most "artists" are liberal. A sample:
"[Y]ou don’t have to be a liberal to be a good storyteller. But the better your story is, the more of a liberal you are. (Unfortunately for aspiring writers, that does not work the other way round: you cannot aspire to be liberal and hope that will make you a better artist.)
"So, yes, most good artists are liberal. And it is not a coincidence."
If this ain't claptrap, then, well, I don't know what claptrap is!
