An Old Article

But one I still find strangely relevant when just the other day I spoke with someone who "believed 9/11 was an event the Bush administration allowed to happen...in his words, like Pearl Harbor."

Yeah. Right. Whatever. I don't talk to people like this because there is nothing to say. It's like telling a baby about the plot of the movie you watched last night. They just aren't going to get it...makes me think democracy isn't such a great idea because someone this stupid really doesn't deserve to vote. Seriously. By a stroke of irony and luck, they generally don't.

Oh yeah, the article is about Fahrenheit 9/11. Here is a paragraph which sums the whole thing up:

To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery.
