Mamet has written a wonderful essay on why he is no longer a brain-dead liberal for the Village Voice and although it's long, it's witty and fun and seems short. High recommend.
Money quote:
...the Constitution separates the power of the state into those three branches which are for most of us (I include myself) the only thing we remember from 12 years of schooling.The Constitution, written by men with some experience of actual government, assumes that the chief executive will work to be king, the Parliament will scheme to sell off the silverware, and the judiciary will consider itself Olympian and do everything it can to much improve (destroy) the work of the other two branches...
