SOME diaries are better off remaining private.
That's especially true of "Diary of a Political Tourist," a valueless vanity project premiering tonight on HBO... Think of the dullest videotaped chronicle of a friend's lengthy vacation that you've ever been subjected to, and then multiply it several-fold and you get an idea of the fortitude it will require for you to sit through this portrait of Kerry...

Fahrenheit 911 simply HAD to be made, as the lies can no longer be purveyed by the discredited old media. The problem for the lefties is this: DOCUMENTARIES are uniquely suited to the distortion of truth, and people instinctively recognize this fact. For years, the mainstreamers got away without the customers feeling the need for corroboration, now the honeymoon is over.
With documentaries, it is the MEDIUM which requires corroboration, IMHO it will not have the power to persuade.
Sopranos won't be back on until 2006.
oh really...how come???
They are in jail
HBO== Homo Broadcasting Office? Every time I used to switch them on it was some other gay show. Finally got rid of it.
I don't think HBO pays them very well, compared to movie salaries.
