Made it to both screenings of Fahrenheit 9/11. In light of the doctoring and outright lying that Moore engaged in with Bowling for Columbine, I had to take the movie with a grain of salt for the first viewing. However, in light of a second, I really cannot point to anything he argues for in the movie that a book has not already been published on arguing the same way. The only things that may have been doctored were minor (a protester camped out near the white house calling Bush a terrorist, as well as a passer-by claiming it was staged), and the other points touched on... I honestly expected a more radical opinion from Moore. Overall, the film is anything but fair to Bush. The facts, though, do not always reveal a fair image that Bush supporters will like hearing as well as those who want Kerry to win. Whatever side of the political spectrum you are on, I highly advocate seeing the movie and making your own decision rather than going by the right-wing response of "if we want to see fiction we'll see Shrek". Not everything against Bush is a lie, and as many would argue, it's Bush and his administration that operate in such dishonest ways. See the movie, make your own opinion in a truly independent fashion. I think it will be difficult not to be outraged in the same way Moore has been.

Thanks to Chip's little brother, as well as Chip himself, I have a reserved ticket for the midnight showing of Fahrenheit 9/11 tonight. This is good news as the charity event that was to be held tonight for the anti-death penalty coalition sold out their tickets rather quickly. I have this ticket at midnight, and I believe Bob has a ticket for me at 7:30pm tomorrow. Hopefully I will get to see both showings tomorrow. Even if you are a militant Bush supporter, one.... okay two things. If you're a militant Bush supporter then you are a walking breathing reason not to vote for Bush as you literally embody the barbaric and pubescent angst-ridden insecure violent behavior that the world and those liberals you hate so bad argue against. That being said, even if you are a militant Bush supporter you should see this film just for the footage of your beloved administration doing precisely what they claim on CNN and FOX that they, in fact, technically never did.

Technology Rules
I am currently in Mucci's car, outside the dwelling of one Ruth McAdams. Ruth's family has a wonderful little wireless network in their household, and it has thus far been more than happy to provide this new laptop of Mucci's with a 11.0 Megabit connection. This is either the end of the universe, or the brilliant future. Mucci has no internet connection of his own at his dwelling, so many thanks to the McAdams family for providing this "Ham Internet" tonight. If I am not arrested for white collar crimes, then go me and expect a similar post on Mucci's blog. Otherwise, I will post as soon as bail does. I really need to get myself one of these laptops.
