I, for one, like the trend here. It’s appropriate for entertainers to realize that, no matter which side they end up mocking, they are going to tick off a sizeable part of their audience.

It’s just nicer when sitcoms/singers/bands/etc. stick to non-political stuff.

Nicer, yes--but if done more fairly, I wouldn't mind it. Politics has been parodied and spoofed since the time of Aristotle, and humor has a place in it.

Unfortunately in this country the leftists have in large part, taken over much of the culture, and they integrate their message into all mediums. Sometimes it's subtle, most times it's not. Even more unfortunate, dim-witted viewers have taken these messages as gospel, believing that people like Oprah Winfrey, the "View" cast, and SNL are the leading authorities on public, military and foreign policy, and that these liberal icons understand the history of economics better than any of us.

"Tax cuts for the rich? Barbara Walters said we could pay off the national debts in 6 months!" "Did you see how stupid Palin was when Tina Fey did her on SNL? No WAY she could be president!"

You get the idea.
