there is so much in this short posting. First it is from the Sun for god sake. This is a paper where most letters to the editor are written in crayon.

Rick Bell is a guy that, I think, writes some sort of catch all column that tries to mention as many local people as possible. It does not matter what they do as long as he can use a name. The fact that anyone quoted him is remarkable in itself.

And then "much loved"????? help us, there really are people who don't think at all.

Kevan,

Are you making fun of people who use crayons? Unbelievable!

I don't think it was a smear on artists 4Canada, but a play on the juvenile minds; which of course is an insult to juveniles;

getting back to the Bush issue, for once I happened to see a small portion of Larry King that was truly candid...the guest was Ron Reagan Junior; Wow is all I can say...he set the record straight in more ways than one, someone said that his statement at his father's funeral, that he(father) did not wear his religion on his sleeve nor bring it into the Whitehouse was a smear on Bush...Ron said I wasn't talking about Bush I was talking about my Dad, but since you brought it up...yes I have some concerns about someone who claims that God is telling him what to do, that is what the terrorist say; then added his comments opposing the war...etc.

It was very good and very to the point, and he did say he would vote for anybody but Bush!

Or try this one: <br><br> From the NYT June 25 2004 <br><br> "'FAHRENHEIT 9/11' <br><br> Unruly Scorn Leaves Room For Restraint But Not a Lot <br><br> By A. O. SCOTT <br><br> Mixing sober outrage with mischievous humor and blithely trampling the boundary between documentary and demagoguery, Michael Moore takes wholesale aim at the Bush administration, whose tenure has been distinguished, in his view, by unparalleled and unmitigated arrogance, mendacity and incompetence. <br><br> Of course, your estimation of "Fahrenheit 9/11" will largely depend on whether you share this view, but this unabashedly partisan collage of interviews, archival video clips and Mr. Moore's trademark agitprop stunts is nonetheless his most disciplined and powerful film to date. <br><br> Mr. Moore is a prodigious talker and a wily showman, but he is also a good listener, and when he visits his hometown of Flint, Michigan to speak to the mother of a marine killed in Iraq "Farhenheit" achieves an eloquence that its most determined critics will have a hard time dismissing. <br><br> The movie's cheap shots and inconsistencies may frustrate its admirers, but by now we should have learned to appreciate Mr. Moore for what he is. He is rarely subtle, often impolite, frequently tendentious and sometimes self-contradictory. He is also a credit to the Republic." <br><br> 4.43 Stars out of 5 awarded by readers <br><br> For the complete review go to: <br><br> Unruly Scorn Leaves Room for Restraint, but Not a Lot <br><br> "....Which is to say that while Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" will be properly debated on the basis of its factual claims and cinematic techniques, it should first of all be appreciated as a high-spirited and unruly exercise in democratic self-expression. Mixing sober outrage with mischievous humor and blithely trampling the boundary between documentary and demagoguery, Mr. Moore takes wholesale aim at the Bush administration, whose tenure has been distinguished, in his view, by unparalleled and unmitigated arrogance, mendacity and incompetence. <br><br> That Mr. Moore does not like Mr. Bush will hardly come as news. "Fahrenheit 9/11," which opens in Manhattan today and in the rest of the country on Friday, is many things: a partisan rallying cry, an angry polemic, a muckraking inquisition into the use and abuse of power. But one thing it is not is a fair and nuanced picture of the president and his policies. What did you expect? Mr. Moore is often impolite, rarely subtle and occasionally unwise. He can be obnoxious, tendentious and maddeningly self-contradictory. He can drive even his most ardent admirers crazy. He is a credit to the republic...." <br><br> <a>Link to article</a> <br><br>
