John K on Moore’s Capitalism

I have yet to see Michael Moore’s new movie, Capitalism: A Love Story, but I’m sure it’ll piss me off as much as the rest of his movies do.

One of my biggest problems with the man is he sets up some interesting questions but then steamrolls over them with ridiculous allegations that leave his believers [...]


POASAA!!!

Looks like President Obama will be addressing the nation’s youth on September 8. It is a bit of an unprecedented move, but that only means it’s not been done before, not that it shouldn’t be done. From what I understand, the speech is supposed to be about the importance of an education.
