Did you really think that? When he created his administration in Dec 2008 / Jan 2009, he went total hawk in state & defense.

To be honest I have not seen any of his movies either. But I did watch Bill Mahr's anti-religion film Religulous on NetFlix.

You used used the word "completely" twice, I did not use it at all. You used used the word "fraud" once, I did not use it at all. I never used the word "documentaries" to describe his films, as you said I did. I identified them as "mocumentaries". Nor did I use the word "thruthful", or any form of it. Please re-read what I wrote, then reply to that. Thank you. Analogies only work if they are remotely proportional. This one is not remotely proportional. If dishonesty is fire, they you must really fear getting burned by Fox News. And Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as politicians.

Ben Ali was a strong ally and a thug, we armed him and rubber stamped his electoral landslides. Interesting... it seems that they are unaware of what is happening in Bahrain. Or perhaps they have it dark blue and I just can't see it.

First of all; Mubarak fell in Egypt without external military aid. Gaddafi fell only because of large scale NATO and GCC involvement. The same strategy is favored in Syria by many. Where does that happen, other than in a region that we (or a proxy) have either destroyed the civilian infrastructure or threaten to do so? We helped deposed Gaddafi because he had resources we wanted and was a threat to introduce an African currency that would be a rival to the dollar. There are worse dictatorships in that region (especially the Gulf), but they are our allies. We only spend a lot of blood and treasure to keep neoliberal leaders in place who are our friends, which is why there are “militants in back of Toyota Hilux” who want to kill us.

I will say this... that the Moore film Sicko did do a service to this nation by highlighting the abuses by a very greedy industry. Sure, many facts were triaged for the movie. "Lefty Fiction" will usually be more popular than "Righty Fiction", because it is more likely to poke fun at people in power. Fox News tried to recreate a right wing version of the Daily Show, but it was a complete disaster. . Edit: I would watch Atlas Shrugged over Dora.

I have too . . . but I doubt that krill is one of those people. That's cool, anyone who knows soldering is OK in my book.

No film is made to be an unbiased presentation of facts, they all have an agenda. Michael Moore makes 'mocumentaries' that have a basis in reality but are loose with facts to mostly expose abuses of power. The Obama 2016 movie was made by a conservative filmmaker to give his opinion of what America would look like after four more years of Obama. If you think that a film will entertain you, then by all means go see it. But do not go with the intent of seeing a neutral documentary.

We failed by effing up multiple nations, so we should kill millions of people we already screwed because a few fanatics can't be controlled by the instability we created? . . . maybe krill needed to include the "insert sarcasm here" emoticon . . . I didn't think that anyone would actually take that seriously. Maybe, but I have heard many people who were serious about their nuk'em attitude. Regardless, I will let my statement stand on its own. I had been against the NATO invasion of Libya from day one, and there has been almost a complete media B****** of the disaster we had helped create there.

Perhaps it will work in Syria, our next target for regime change. Same goes for the USA.

Joe Biden > Paul Ryan, Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney or Algore.

Too bad he can't tackle.

Vote for a third party candidate, register your disgust for the two corporate choices.

We need to spend our way to recovery, and to get spending money in the hands of the dwindling middle class. Without a thriving middle class, all austerity programs will destroy our economy. Inflation is not the principal enemy.

Never watched the show, what is it about?

Maybe for some small businesses, but that is only a miniscule drop in the bucket.

I had managed quality for SCI (now Sanmina), who had more SMT lines than any other company in the world at the time. Yes we are hand soldering now, and still use the good stuff. There are other things we could do that would make much more of a positive impact than banning lead in solder. I don't trust the Chinese to comply with bans that other nations choose to comply with.

While modern science is going beyond standard four dimensional space-time to up to 26 dimensions theorized, some 'thinkers' are stuck in a two dimensional world.

Fair, but kinda sugar coated.

We should strive to equal the successes we had pre-1962.

It is just a game, but the game is important.

Stoopid Europeans... lets add cost while reducing quality and reliability. Fortunately we still solder with good ole 63/37.

We can still hopefully have an injury-free season. Good luck to UCLA the rest of the way.

The Big East? Conference USA? The MWC, MAC or WAC? The Sun Belt?
