Fellowship 9/11

I found this clever satire on Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 linked on Fark. It’s really only funny if you’ve seen F911. I dunno, you might find it humorous if you like medieval/fantasy crap too.

Republican Convention

So far, I don’t think the Republican National Convention has gotten off on the right foot. The first day was quite disappointing. I thought it was particularly offensive to have Muslim chaplain talk about tolerance in the same city that was hit three years earlier. Even more strange is the fact that I would imagine a great majority of Republican constituents are likely Christians, so quotations from the Koran probably didn’t sit well. It seemed a little too preechy, like “Yeah, you were bombed, but get over it and embrace us.” As I’ve always said, freedom from religion is just as important as freedom of religion. The other speakers were meaningless to me. Your thoughts?

Update: I watched last nights RNC. Although I thought the President’s daughters were lame and disrespectful, I think Schwarzenegger and Laura Bush had strong speeches. I’ve also come to realize the key difference between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats think we started the war by invading Iraq (funny how they never mention Afghanistan), Republicans think the enemy started the war and we are just defending ourselves. I tend to agree with the Republicans on that one.

Fahrenheit 9/11

Well, we saw the movie Friday night. It was quite entertaining. I’m not entireley sure what to think of it since Moore’s mocumentaries have been notoriously full of half-truths, which makes sense given that it is a mocumentary. However, the movie does bring up some good points and adds fuel to the fire of those who already dislike Bush. I probably won’t vote for him, not necessarily because of his actions before and after 9/11 so much (although my verdict is still out on those events), but more likely because of the poor economy and hemorrhaging of jobs we have seen since he was elected. I recommend anyone see the movie, liberal, conservative, or otherwise.
