Michael Moore’s Politics of Prejudice

Tonight, surfing around the channels, I happened onto Current TV — the progressive network that environmentally concerned Al Gore just sold to the oil-rich sheikhs of Qatar — and the network was showing Michael Moore’s 2009 documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story.

A Tale Of Two Reviews

by Smitty Emphasis mine throughout.

Why ‘Modern Romance’ Is an Oxymoron

Greta Gerwig and Adam Brody in Damsels in Distress That which is romantic is almost always in some sense old-fashioned, but we cannot be old-fashioned if we know nothing of the past, and most young people have no idea what Edmund Burke meant when he lamented that “the age of chivalry is gone.” Maggie’s Notebook […]

Wow. Just … Wow.
