#1 I received the 700+MB flic in an email, Gawd bless unlimited attachments, from a friend outside the US - and the first 25 minutes make sense, actually - right up to the point that Bush is shot. Then it goes LLL haywire and sucks the big one. Evil US Govt stuff. I could lay it out, spoiling this sure-fire Academy Award Winner for everyone - or not. Doesn't matter to me. I almost flushed it without watching.

#2 This assumption of a rigid police state might be considered inflammatory, but our own real-life history provides plenty of precedent.

Yes, just look into the history of suspension of civil liberties during wartime by Woodrow Wilson (D) and Franklin Roosevelt (D). Notice something consistent here? Can we say Freudian projection here?

So true, Chuck. Why just this morning on my way to work I was pulled from my car and beaten by the State Police...again!

#4 I have thought about penning the screenplay for an unauthorized sequel to this, entitled Media Beast: the Aftermath. This follows loyalist vigilantes as they take revenge on various left-wing media culture elements for inciting the assassination.
Since GWB, Cheney, et al, are real people and could really be killed; and the media monsters claim artistic license for this; I think it is only fair for me to have the same licence to use the names of real media swine in the sequel.

Typical scene: Several dozen BBC employees have gathered in an auditorium for their NUJ sponsored Minute of Hate. Cheney's picture flashes on the screen. Catcalls and chanting erupt from the crowd. At that moment, two men enter at the back. One of them has a backpack flamethrower.
"Hot damn, Jim Bob, a whole room full o' commie moonbats. Light 'em up!"

#5 Rofl, AC! It warms my heart to see you back in full force - and talking like a Permian Roughneck Ass Kicker, lol. ;->

#6 Many thanks, .com. It is a joy to be back, free (for now) to exercise my First Amendment rights just as Moonbats do, and hold their feet to the fire in terms of consistency.

#7 Did I leave out that the Permian Roughneck Ass Kicker is the local awl cumpny's CEO, worth more than Gawd, sounds suspiciously like T. Boone, and has a double doctorate in Philsophy and Military Science? My bad, lol. Waay good idea in #4...

#9 It simply astounds me how any American citizen can possibly applaud such garbage as this. Unpatriotic doesn't even begin to cover it.
