By general definition, artists abhor the political realm. Then there are the artists who believe that conscience requires us all to address political issues.
At sptBlog we are artists who believe that politics is an unavoidable part of daily hell. We are civic-minded artists who, ahem, help pay the bills by a state-funded check every now and then.
We also believe that the best way to enhance the efforts of Bayou State artists would be to withdraw all political monies from the artists' trough. The indignation and privation would likely bring forth a fiery, celestial burst of artistic energy.
But today's lecture is not utopia. It is dystopia, or the governor's race. How to track the candidates without mucking up the soles of our shoes.
The best thing I've come across are the candidate interviews being conducted by the Times editorial board and reported at the editor's blog. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audio from Bobby Jindal's recent interview.
You have a better way to stay informed or develop some insight?
