From Graaaaaydon Caaaaarter, the uber-sophisticate editor of…. Vaaaaaanity Fair: Well, anger certainly continues to be all the rage in the corridors of American politics. Not to mention American corridors in general. Polls taken prior to the November midterm election indicated that a surprising number of Obama voters said they were going to vote Republican this […]
MSNBC is showing a photo album of various Tea Party members / attendees, and many of the pictures includes… gasp.. “people of color”. Uh Oh… Someone’s going to get fired over this! Jeez. Next thing you know Scientific America will carry an even handed article talking about “climate skeptics”… Oh Crap!!!! Is hell freezing over […]
Having seen most of his films, I for one find it a little ironic him criticizing Juan Williams for journalistic integrity. Just making an observation. PS. His main point is valid, but I just find it funny that it’s Michael Moore unleashing this critical barb.
