This unnecesary and totally ridiculous slap (survivor isnt some sacred word that must only be spoken in hushed tones, after all isnt there a major television franchise about people who never lived through the holocaust or cancer called....Survivor?) in an entertainment review shows you all you need to know about the politics of this jerk, and why he likes Moores movies.

Excellent point. And didn't Destiny's Child have a song called "Survivor"? Is the author going to go after Beyonce Knowles for being insensitive?

I wonder what Ray Bradbury has to say about this appropriation of his title. I couldn't find his response. A real journalist would ask him rather than letting Michael hijack the name without contest.

I was thinking that just today! Titles can't be copyrighted, but still it would be interesting to hear what Bradbury has to say about it.

One other thing -- Mary Corliss is married to Time's Richard Corliss. But I'm sure she got this gig on her own merits, right?

[Jim Robinson]

Heh, heh. Well, could it be that the FBI felt a "benign" peace group associating itself with the likes of the communist inspired International ANSWER possibly warrants keeping a close eye on? Or could it be that a certain peace group is simply paranoid?

The movie, a brisk and entertaining indictment of the Bush Administration’s middle East policies before and after September 11, 2001, features new footage of abuse by U.S. soldiers: a Christmas Eve 2003 sortie in which Iraqi captives are publicly humiliated.

My oh my...what a coincidence CBS and the New Yorker got those Abu Ghraib photos when they did. What a coincidence, I say.

I question whether these were the agents working FOR Michael Moore; i.e. that they deliberately behaved badly for the cameras to damage the war effort (under Michael's tutelage).

Considering World War IV is being fought against a totaletarian ideology rather than a specific nation, it is an appropriate question. Michael Moore has already voiced publicy his support for the terrorists in Iraq (he denied they were terrrorists or even "the enemy"); he has also said defiantly that they "will win".

I doubt that President Bush had seen the attack at the time that footage was shot. The first crash was not broadcast initially. It wasn't until the second hit that people were on the scene. Even then it was a clip of the second plane that played repeatedly with someone coming forth with "first plane" footage later (maybe even a day later).

I do not know if he was notified after the first hit or second hit.

Where was Bill Clinton and what did he do immediately (5 minutes) after he heard that there was a bombing in OKC?

New headline -

My Kneepads are for Clinton but Michael Moore Will Do

[Chieftain]

What a POS review. It is casual to the most obvious observer that TIME should be re-named, "The Slam Bush Times".

Heck, Moore has said time and time again that he doesn't think Bin Laden was behind 9/11! I'm still waiting for somebody in the media to call him on that.
