Quote of the (insert any unit of time here):

"Now, patriotism is defined as love of country. It's not defined as love of militarism or love of government edicts of any kind. You know, unexamined, unintelligent patriotism, you know, my country, right or wrong, love it or leave it, gets us nowhere and results in bad country and western songs." --Janeane Garofalo

The quote appears in this Howard Kurtz transcript on cnn.com. The gist of the interview is that the mainstream media cannot totally ignore the anti-war movement, but they marginalize it by having celebrities come on to talk about it instead of movement leaders and policy experts. Thus it looks like it's just a matter of bored actors fighting their latest cause celebre instead of serious people thinking seriously about issues and disagreeing with the company line. The irony of making this point by interviewing Janeane Garofalo is not lost on me, but I think it's a valid point nonetheless.
