I'm really getting tired of the "GEN X IS TOTALLY RIGHT WING DUDERS" line. Go read the Pew Research Center's report on generational trends again -- each generation is, generally speaking, more liberal than the previous. President Obama isn't a long-haired dirty leftist, but he ain't Alex P. Keaton by a long shot.

Nirvana? Rage Against the Machine? Big deal -- Reagan tarted the hell out of Bruce Springsteen too. Conservatives love to pretend to align themselves with yesterday's revolutions.

I'm at the tale end of generation X (82). And while I am personally on the conservative side of things, I find among my age group that I've always been the oddball there. Most people in the age group are more liberal. Now, maybe the begining of Gen X is different, but at least the end of it - I think not.

Of course, the joke is that as you get older (and have more money) you end up becoming more conservative...
