Tonight, I saw the trailer for the new John Sayles film, SILVER CITY.

To say that the main character is patterned after our piss-poor excuse for a president would be a gross understatement. Man, I can't WAIT to see that movie!!! :bounce:

1. It was on the front of F9/11 today.

There were actually laughs during the movie when Dubya said and did things that reminded them of Chris Cooper in the trailer. Kinda surreal.

6. Dude, these quotes could be from the pie-hole of *

"Death Penalty
“Some people say they support the death penalty in capital offense cases. Not me. If you’ve got a trump card, I say why keep it off the table? The death penalty should be available for all criminal proceedings."


Terrorism
“Look at the root word of terrorist – terror. How can anyone wonder whether these people are right or wrong? They’ve got terror right there in their name. Do they have to spell it out?”


Abortion
“If you love killing babies, than you must also love terrorism. I cannot abide that.”


Drugs
“I do not support the use of drugs, unless they are of a prescription variety. This position is non-negotiable, even more so than my position on the death penalty. I draw the line here about that one.”"
