Believe me, all the environmentalist elites you'd ever hope to see bashed are here...egghead professors, Hollywood actors, radical politicians -- they all get what's coming to them, and they are unmercifully made fun...

A Nation Apart The terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001 have not only widened the differences between America and the rest of the world, but have also deepened divisions within the country itself, says John Parker AT NINE o'clock on the morning of September 11th 2001, President George Bush sat in an elementary school in Sarasota, Florida, listening to seven-year-olds read stories about goats. “Night fell on a different world,” he said of that day. And on a different America. At first, America and the world seemed to change together. “We are all New Yorkers now,” ran an e-mail from...

Long-time Hollywood friends...liberals all...lambasted the script, also refusing to have anything...
