Michael Moore is an <insert insult of choice here>

We don't need further proof that Michael Moore is a prevaricator of the first order. Nevertheless, here it is. From this article at FOX News:
A double-amputee Iraq-war vet is suing Michael Moore for $85 million, claiming he recycled an old interview and used it out of context to make him appear anti-war in "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Sgt. Peter Damon, 33, who strongly supports America's invasion of Iraq, said he never agreed to be in the 2004 movie, which trashes President Bush.

Given that the clip used in the movie is part of a longer interview that is on record, there really isn't any question about what Moore did. The case will decide whether or not Sgt. Damon and his wife are entitled to compensation. In any event, it just goes to show how low Moore was willing to stoop to advance his agenda and is yet another example of how his so-called "documentary" is really nothing of the kind.

Back in Black

Okay, I've been away from this blog for several months. It's been a pretty busy time, what with getting married and all, and I just haven't had the energy or the inclination to post for a while. I'm going to try to get back in the habit of regular posting though don't be surprised if a lot of my posts are merely pointers to articles or posts on other blogs that I find interesting rather than in-depth commentary. We'll see how this goes.
