If you?ve enjoyed his spin on ?locavores,? environmental activists, and lobbyists, you?re likely to enjoy Joel Stein?s description in the latest TIME of Hollywood-based Democratic political activists:

Once we sat down, I realized I had no idea who these people were. Luckily, like every liberal event I’ve ever been to, the breakfast began by having us go around the room and talk about ourselves. I used the time to play L.A. bingo, which I won when every single person used at least one of the following words: activist, conserve, screenwriter, progress, environment, producer or filmmaker.

Then I figured we’d be asked to give money for something or hold hands across America, but instead it turned into a weird kind of show-and-tell. A few people gave long presentations, but everyone was given one-minute slots to talk about projects they’re working on. Watching liberals try to explain something in one minute might be the best game show I’ve ever seen.
