Default Buying the War

This is really worth watching...all 5 chapters. Put aside your preconceived notions and watch.

I'll put aside my preconceived notions if Moyers will.

Fat chance of that happening

Well since you're in this mood, want to get anything off your chest with Michael Moore's movie coming out later this week? Im sure you have all kinds of things to say about the movie without actually seeing it (like Im hearing from some of my conservative friends already). Of course from people who listen to Rush and OReilly all day, their biggest complaint about him seems to be that hes soooooooooo fat (aka the Al Gore syndrome).

Being fat myself, Moore's weight doesn't bother me
What does bother me is the way he builds a case using just the slightest hint of the truth surrounded by a mountain of lies.

Fair enough. Hes the left's version of the guys I pointed to (well in Rush's case there isnt a hint of truth, just hateful rhetoric).

It has been fun seeing all the health insurance lobbyists/apologists all over the news networks the past week though trying to spread the word that their business is a saintly one.

About Moore's new movie "SiCKO" which is about health care.

If I worked in the healthcare or insurance industry, I'd just ignore him
