Liberal Stance: The Wire

Liberal Stance

But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." --John F. Kennedy

The Wire

HBO 'The Wire' is one of the best shows on television. It continues to be a hard hitting show even without Avon Barksdale (locked up) and Stringer Bell (Killed). In the 4th season Marlo battles Omar, the police and anybody else in this way and Carcetti faces off against Royce to become the Mayor. One of the great thing about the show is goes in detail about the uglier side of local politics in a big city and how it affects police department. The main focus of this season deals with 'corner kids ' in and out of school, which is different from past seasons. Unlike the Sopranos, The Wire has not miss a beat in it's story telling. Any predictions on how the show is going to end this season?
