(And about the post: I think they exaggerate sometimes, even thought I like the fact that politicians are understanding that people realize that THEY WORK FOR US, and not the other way around. And that’s why they seem to be looking for ways to communicate on a more humane level. I read this the other day and I thought it was pretty interesting: “From an anthropological point of view, teasing is a political act. It’s part of the cultural construction on which democracy turns. Otherwise presidents are too grand, their powers too great, their status too asymmetrical. We scorn our politicians to level them. We tease to keep democracies democratic.”)
