...never personally offended. Why? Because I was not necessarily personally invested in the argument. The goal of a sports columnist should not be to share all of his personal opinions with a wide audience. As I said, I’m just a dude who likes sports. Instead, the purpose of sports columns should be to offer an idea, fact or suggestion that enriches and promotes discourse. Man, I’m starting to sound like John Stuart Mill. This is getting too serious...
Much of the material is familiar. The film buttresses its arguments from reports in the New York Times and the Washington Post, Craig Unger's House of Bush, House of Saud and Moore's own best seller Dude, Where's My Country? But Moore, a master propagandist and incorrigible entertainer, knows how to assemble footage in piquant ways. He shows a news clip of Bush on a golf course saying sternly, "We must stop the terror," then reverting to country-club form by adding cheerfully, "Now watch this drive." Moore precedes his section on the Patriot Act by noting that...
Forget what you've heard about Hong Kong-based writer-director Wong Kar-wai: that he's the tall dude in the cool shades who makes superhip movies the international art-house set loves for their languorous rhythms, their gorgeous-garish visual tones, their iconizing of alienation, their pioneering of a sultry cinematic language.

But Moore, a master propagandist and incorrigible entertainer, knows how to assemble footage in piquant ways. He precedes his section on the Patriot Act by noting that Attorney General John Ashcroft had lost his U.S. Senate seat in 2000 to a recently deceased incumbent: "Voters preferred...
...rapper ANDRE 3000 (real identity: Andre Benjamin) and Bill killer UMA THURMAN (real identity: foxy movie-star mama) supply the requisite edge. Andre, the sex-symbol half of the Grammy-winning hip-hop duo OutKast, plays Dabu "a trigger-happy parody of all rappers," he says. "He's a dude from the street, and he's kind of crazy. He'll be in a normal conversation just itching to shoot somebody." Thurman's Edie runs a record label that's in debt to Dabu, but she's being protected by boyfriend and entrepreneurial mobster Chili Palmer (John Travolta). This...
