Insight into humans’ bizarre and often contradictory views and behaviors, versus criticizing public officials. Not that you should never do the latter — political officials should obviously be criticized — but I think the former is more valuable and definitely more interesting (as well as more difficult).

Sorry if this wasn’t a hair worth splitting, but what’s your distinction between social commentary and political criticism? I could see people using the terms interchangeably, but obviously that’s not your intent.

IMHO, social commentary is a much higher art form than political criticism anyway. 🙂
