Because the line between real life and fiction isn't blurred enough, CNN had to run this piece:

(CNN) -- After a nearly 20-year absence, Nixon-loving, Reagan-worshipping Alex P. Keaton is again slinging his political views on television.

Michael J. Fox, who played the conservative teen on the 1980s sitcom "Family Ties," says that if the right-wing, tie-wearing Keaton were a real person, Alex would disagree with the Republican stance against increased embryonic stem cell research.

"I was recently asked what my character, Alex P. Keaton would think of me campaigning for stem cell research," Fox said Monday during a speech in Kea-ton's TV hometown of Columbus, Ohio.
Up next, What would President Bartlett of the West Wing do about Don Rumsfeld? Let's get Martin Sheen to channel him. And later in the newscast, traffic..and what would KITT of the Knight Rider do about your commute home? Maybe CNN could do a series.
