Ok, I just got word that Kal Penn is leaving acting. He is leaving acting to work on the Obama administration. Are you fucking kidding me?!?! Kal Penn. Resume including both Harold and Kumar movies, Van Wilder, a regular character role on House, several roles in several other movies and a potentially bright future in acting. And you're giving this up to work for a crappy president? Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against Obama...yet. As long as he doesn't fuck up the country any more than it currently is.
But why? Is it because he's the first black president? It is because you THINK he's going to have some profound effect on the country's current status? And would you have been on the Clinton administration? You know she would have been the first women president. Does that account for anything? Doubtful. So give me one good reason. He's a fucking president. He's not going to be any better then anyone else.
Now mind you, I did vote for him. But only for the simple fact that I don't want another Bush in the White House and the possibility of him dying and having Palin next up. Obviously. Oh my God, how awful. We would have all been doomed. So I really do hope that Obama can make some kind of difference. But no more significant then the next person. I tell you what, if given the chance to be on the administration, I sure as hell wouldn't.
So why Kal, why? Why waste your talent on a president?
