Political entertaintment or Entertaining politics?

What the heck is happening in TN politics??? Just Who is governing people?? What do they do to budget, govern and protect the state at large???? What has entertainment industry to do with politics? Especially the largest entertainment industry, cinema - what does it have to do with the kuppan, suppan and appan in the rural TN working their life away for every single meal??

I just read a news article on Karunanidhi and his daughter Kanimozhi. These two people, being plunged nose deep(should i say neck deep??) in TN politics are releasing audio cassette for a movie by Prakash raj "Abhiyum Nanum", the claim being this movie is about a father and daugter so its only apt that MK and his daughter release the cd or cassette whatever.

How can we/public can be soooooooooo naive to take these Cheif Ministers and ministers taking part in petty audio release and movie launcing programs? Oh my God to think of how the cinema and TN politics is so intertwined and all messed up "My heart aches and a drowsy numbness pains..."

Here I am raving and ranting like a toad in dark muddy midnight waters, who ever will start thinking about the sheer stupidity of getting all entertainters onto politics? Getting into cinema industry in TN is becoming the necessary qualification for getting an identity into politics. To read of everybody's dreams for the "Mudalvar Narkali"... is that some sort of musical chair for everyone from Vijay to Vadivelu to dream about? Lets get the entertainers out of politics. Let all politicians do their job for people and do not do "Politics" with cinema. Jesters and poets entertainmed Kings, but they didn't take over ruling the country those days. If a jester becmes a King TN will just become like the fictitious place in "Irubathu Moonram Pulikesi". Let us wake up.
