...vanity license plate. I’m pretty sure many of the people we passed on the street thought there was a dentist in the car.However, I am not just a nicknamed, I am a nicknamer. My father instilled in all his children an inability to function in casual conversation without the help of nicknames.

In recent years, particularly with Michael Moore’s films like “Fahrenheit 9/11,” both casual viewers and uptight critics questioned whether political documentaries constitute “propaganda.” With each box office hit also came strong critiques and even counter-argumentative books and films...
