I don't want to comment on the quality of the commentary on CNN these days, although I will say its lacking.  Case in point, this article as to whether the "fictional" character that Michael J Fox played for so many years, Alex P. Keaton, would support his stem cell research advocacy this election cycle.  While I too have had similar thoughts as to whether the people in Mayberry will vote for, oh, Democrat Heath Shuler, I was a little puzzled as to whether or not Alex would also have Parkinson's, because after all Alex is only a fictional character played by... oh, never mind?
