Ben Affleck

[realitybug]

I was wondering when he was going to try politics. Good for him, I think he could be good at politics. At least he realized he's making crap movies.

I like the guy, but damn, I hate his movies

I think he could be good at politics, eventually. But I do find it ridiculous when celebs that have no previous experience or education run for high posts such as Governor or Senator. The fact that Arnold, a guy who has spent half is life in a gym and the other half harassing women, is running the 5th largest economy in the world is SCARY. As is the idea that a former half of Bennifer will help decide where the US will wage war.

And how the hell is Benji going to justify his crappy voting record?

He's still part of a "Bennifer," albeit the economy sized model.

I could totally see Ben doing that and being good at it, since acting is clearly not his true calling.

I'm not so sure about that. Given the very weak way he handled soft ball questions lobbed to him when he was campaigning for Kerry, I think that if he gets into politics, it could make his acting look good.

Well, he was just on Real Time with Bill Mahr and he was not only articulate and witty, but cute too. He was actually defending people of faith (Mahr was saying how stupid religion is). Stupid sexy Affleck. My Boyfriend Ben is back!

I have never heard anyone refer to Lynx as a "fragrance". It's a cheap men's deodourant....and it smells awful on everyone.

They seem to think it is, . He's gone from Loreal to Lynx, poor Ben.

He was on Bill Maher's show last week, and he really impressed me. Oh, he talked to much, but he was knowledgeable and funny. Maher started talking about how religion has only recently played a part in national politics, but Ben was able to counter that argument with sound logic and actual examples.

I can't help it; I really like Ben Affleck. He's a dork, his political leanings and mine are similar, I think he's cute, he likes baseball, and he was on Voyage of the Mimi. How could I not, really?
