Joth, yes...I think Undertoad is really Michael Moore. He just changes his views on here to throw people off. UT looks like him, and kinda sounds like him too. (
Proof)
I saw Michael Moore on Donahue last summer, and really liked what he was saying for the most part. However, since the release of his movie, and the whole Oscar speech, he's starting to sound as whiny as Ann Coulter.
But in the end, the left needs a few more nuts. Prior to him, the only really obvious ones to me were Al Franken and Larry Kuby.
As scary as it is, sometimes, Pat Buchanan comes across to me as incredibly reasonable.
Now, are things "that bad" on this side of the pond? Well, Moore's book came out 5 months after 9/11, and I have yet to read it. Having said that, and putting 9/11 aside, the United States is still a great country. Yeah, we have our problems: the manufacturing sector is dying, our poverty rate isn't great, and we have quite a few people out of work right now. And of course, we could talk about racism, 9/11 aftereffects, blah blah blah.
But the good greatly overshadows the bad, IMO.* After all, the Cellar is Philadelphia-born and bred. Need I say more?
*--For the record, Sycamore is not a flag-waving patriotic yahoo.
