ID4...

The fourth of July. I damned near forgot until I checked my email. Another excuse for the country to get blotto and wave the flag around. Haven't we been doing that non-stop for the last three years anyway? Seems like it.

It's hard to get behind a celebration of victory over our oppressors when we are doing so much oppressing at the moment. I was fornunate enough to see Farenheit 9/11 in New York over the weekend and came away with an even bigger loathing for this administration than I came in with. And that's saying something. I think everyone should get out and see this movie, regardless of your political views. I think it's Moore's best so far.Sure, it's filled with a lot of Michael Moore's agenda and there are some stupid Moore stunts (reading the patriot act to congress from an ice cream truck), but at least someone is doing something. Which is more than you can say for the people who are sitting around bashing the film because it has an agenda. Duh! It's Michael Moore! Of course it has an agenda. You wanna make a documentary type film with less propaganda? Have at it! "Rise, Fat Ass, from your comfy chair and go forth and make unbiased documentaries!"

It will be interesting to see if box office = ballot box in November.

Anyway, happy 4th of July, I guess. Drive safely.
