This whole issue over whether or not the decision to give Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" the Palm D'Or was political or not is a little silly. Everyone knows that Quentin Tarantino adores movies and has little or no interest in politics. He would be hard pressed to conjur up Kerry's first name. So why the speculation? http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/living/8781630.htm?1c
I cannot remember a time when the country was so polarized politically. The extent of extreme negative feeling and verging on fanatical positive feeling for Bush floors me. Where are the sound and civilized center voices? In Los Angeles, the support for Kerry is being whipped up with a fervor usually reserved for religious figures (did you see that the dear old Pope called America a "soul-less" place today - well, duh!) People are coming out of the woodwork, snapping themselves out of their apathy to lend support and the mighty $$$ to ensure that their lives will no longer be determined by our favorite good ol' boy nutjob currently residing in the White House. And who can blame them? Our fearless leaders -- Dubya and Arnie. Ouch. My English friends are (quite rightly so) laughing at me.
ps. I like this blogging so much that I can hardly stop myself -- will it be as addictive as my camera phone I wonder?
