Miscellanea - Is Jennifer Aniston a Conservative? Edition

I'm not a celebrity worshiper, and I could care less about what starlet is dating what hunk, but I found this link intriguing, though I have my doubts. After all, this is the same Aniston who was quoted as calling Bush a f***ing idiot (in fairness, prior to 9/11)...

It must be depressing to be a left-winger and focus on negativity all day, every day.

Securing the rights of minorities is a crucial part of democracy, but that goal will never be reached if the 'offended' party refuses to take part in free elections...
