On a sad day, and desperate for happy news, I came across this heartwarming yet dusty nugget from Netflix.
Barack and Michelle Obama will continue to inspire and entertain us, having signed a big production deal to provide the nation with drama and laughs for years to come.
This came out a week or so ago, but with everything else going on, I missed it. What makes it special was the promise from Netflix that the Obamas would not be political.
“It's not The Obama Network, it's not the MSNBC shift,” said Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sandaros a week or so ago. “There's no political slate to the programming."

Only haters would think so. Or racists. Or Republicans who’d push old ladies in wheelchairs over a cliff.
Or anyone who’s determined to live on the wrong side of history, or whatever it was that Lenin and his friends would say.
Or bitter clingers. You know the kind. They’re like ticks.

Netflix could call it “ ’Merika: Bitter Clingers.”
Although there are those who may be overjoyed at the news that the Obamas will continue shaping our culture by developing new TV shows, not everyone’s happy.
Comedian Chris Rock thinks it would be undignified for the Obamas to pander for ratings.

I’m glad I don’t pay for or support anything related to Netflix.
Totally agree with that last line.

We all know how well promises from that side work out.
...plus frequent documentaries about Leni Reifenstahl.

Love it! What happened to the jewel story? Seems to have disappeared.
With the Obama’s having signed a big production deal now they won’t have to trick for weed and lobster with fries.
The Netsleaze boycott is working! Keep it up!
