As vapid and self - impressed as these shows often are (they usually
resemble Kabuki theater more than any form of meaningful political discourse), they still have a disproportionate influence on the direction of our political discussion, and by ignoring an issue they can help to bury it.
And perhaps most infuriatingly, the temperature control — on a small, black, capacitive panel, the shape of which
resembles a Kabuki mask — decided that adjusting to my inputs was just too much work, you know?
