   Matthew Broderick was great in this movie. Ally Sheedy too. But I don’t remember the part about the terrorists.

   You forgot to mention that it’s opposite day. Right?

   I haven’t seen the full segment, but it certainly looks outrageous as a short clip. I suspect it’s missing some important context. Read this before you write Michael Scheuer off as a complete lunatic:

   droth, Michael Scheuer’s short analysis of the so-called-war-on-terror is one of the most precise and sober pieces of writing I came across on this topic.

   You might be right. Glenn Back’s ugly face might distort the statement which is probably just the right-wing, unfunny kind of cynicism we have such a hard time comprehending. I’m pretty sure Glenn Beck didn’t get it either way and just nodded while the Obama-hater spoke.
