"I didn't think it was going to get quite this close," he said of the parallels between the Nixon era and the Bush presidency, which has been sacrificing freedoms in the interests of national security.

"It is just one of those re-occuring things. I hope this doesn't come true in our country. Maybe the film will awaken people to the situation of how dangerous it is . . . The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we are doing now in Iraq are unbelievable." --George "Michael Moore" Lucas

I love how all these lefists blame "the lies of Vietnam" on Richard Nixon. He didn't get us involved there and was the one who finally got us out!

Hey Lucas, why don't you comment on that wonderful war in Bosnia? Or maybe Kosovo?

True. America went into Vietnam for a damn good reason, and America went into Iraq for a damn good reason. So I'm with you on the parallels, George.

You know, there are times when you should really have friends around you to keep you in check; to remind you when you are talking out of your ass.

Friend, this is one of those times.

If you think you are going to be put on ABC tonight for any reason other than to be made fun of, you are sadly mistaken.

Hey, Jon, I saw PABAAH mentioned in an editorial in the Austin American-Statesman Sunday. I forget who wrote it, but it was most likely syndicated. Looks like you've hit the big time.:)
