I’m way behind in my movies this year. Been too busy blogging! But I have special interest this year in two films — one directed by Charles Ferguson called No End in Sight — Alex Gibney is one of the executive producers. An incredible documentary on the horrific management of the Iraq occupation.
Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) Blogs are strange beasts on occasion. By noting that I thought that Barack Obama’s “Harry and Louise II” ads were despicable and calling for him to apologize — predictably, I got a number of emails accusing me of bias towards Hillary Clinton.
