Hi! I'm Alison. I'm a comedian. I pay the bills by playing people on TV, in movies and online. I also write words and worry too much. I have an embarrassingly low level of fame where no one knows my name, but they have this feeling that they went to school with me. I like firm handshakes, information, my dog, smart people and the Earth. I'm on Parks and Rec sometimes and VH1 even more. I'm sorry if I once pranked you on MTV. But, c'mon! That was fun, right?
Anonymous asked: You convey through your blog that you are a political liberal. How liberal are you? In other words, do you have some conservative view points that are not directly apparent throughout your blog, or are you just a very liberal woman?
While I usually (but not always) lean liberal, I’m actually registered as an Independent. I think 2 party politics is not the best idea for our country. It divides us and creates a party goal that is not a nation’s goal.
In George Washington’s Farewell address (written at a time when our country was not a two party nation), he warns against the dangers of forming parties: “The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism.”
You can read the whole speech here: http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/washing.asp
So, there’s that.
