Remember Those Pesky Historical Films

Now, will AI watch this movie and start calling Charlton Heston a proto-political tool of Al Gore? Or will he watch this movie to enjoy a piece of sci-fi celluloid?

Also: last night, O'Reilly was, in Coulter Speak, really giving it to McCain. The latter said he wanted to look for all sorts of energy sources in the U.S. (I agree with him, and moreso that nuclear energy needs to be used even more). But McCain did not concede to O'Reilly's demands about running oil dereks into national preserves, or national parks. O'Reilly hates Teddy Roosevelt, yet the latter would run philosophical circles around the blowhard. You don't charge San Juan hill and later on sit there while idiocies are spewed forth in some television interview.

I have a hunch that O'Reilly doesn't read much.

Soylent Green was a very good SciFi movie, yes. Teddy Roosevelt was a great President, yes. So what does this have to do with McCain's domestic policies? By his own admission, he knows scat about the economy, and he's running a left-of-center, classic liberal campaign, at least domestically (culturally, he sounds more pinkoish than Hillary lately). OK, fine, let him run whatever campaign he wants. What do I care?

O'Reilly does enough to prove day in and day out his capacity for critical thought.

On the other hand, how about Obama saying that "McCain lost his bearings"? Is Jean-Francois gonna just sit there and take it on the chin, as usual? Or does he have a repartee?
