#1 Any chance of Michael Moore and Oliver Stone flying on the same doomed plane? The inflight movie could be the Parallax View

#2 "I was shocked at how ... sentimental the American coverage of the Iraq war was..."

Well, Ollie, just speaking for myself I confess I do get seriously sentimental about other Americans (and Brits and Ozzies and Poles) putting their lives on the line for my benefit and that of my family.

#3 I was beginning to think that Castro had become comic relief the way Qadafi has. He seems to be causing considerable problems in Venusuala, Brazil and is even projecting into Columbia. The American focus may be too far abroad in that respect.

#4 I some times daydream that a charted 747 full of Oliver Stone and the rest of the Hollywood Halfwits is enroute to the Cannes Film Festival when it is Hijacked by terrorists to some Godforsaken third world hellhole and when the ransom demand comes in the government replies WHO? Never heard of 'em

#5 Someone, great image. How much would we be willing to pay the terrorists to keep them?

#7 In America the media is amazingly conformist.

Stone has a point here. I find the American "mainstream" media amazingly conformist: socialist, anti-American, PC, pro-choice, anti-Christian, pro-bigger government, anti-normal, anti-second amendment. How's Matt Lauer differenct from Dan Rather, Peter Jennings or any of the rest of that crowd?

#8 Thank GOD for alternatives! Rush Limbaugh/talk radio, Fox News, Rantburg, Little Green Footballs, Sgt Stryker, Townhall, WND, and all the other options the Looney Left haven't a clue about.

I spent 26 years in the Air Force, working in imagery intelligence. We used to get a daily briefing - exerpts of classified information regarding just about every 'hot spot' and potential hot spot in the world. Then I'd go home and listen to the 6:00 news, and wonder if I was on the right planet.

#9 OP, not to worry, you are definitely on planet earth. It's those folks from the erstwhile major networks that live on the dark side of the moon.

#10 I wonder why we never hear from any of the guys who served with Oliver Stone in Vietnam.
