...Fast Food Nation Fox Searchlight Directed by Richard Linklater 1 Star If “Super-Size Me” is the documentary version of street-corner proselytizing against evil corporate junk food, “Fast Food Nation” is its object-lesson counterpart, tediously preaching to the proverbial choir. Director Richard Linklater’s much-anticipated feature film “Fast Food Nation” is not a documentary.

...Lamont, raising expectations that the midterms would turn this new generation of online activists into kingmakers. Yet in the midst of a Democratic wave, the netroots candidates failed to sweep, causing some pundits to claim that the netroots' influence continues to be overstated: "The Netroots Election? Not So Fast," editorialized The Nation. When Rick Perlstein tried, in The New Republic, to claim the election as a netroots triumph, Ryan Lizza replied in the magazine's blog that in addition to having the netroots' support, winning candidates also had the national Democratic party to thank, as it "dumped tons of money...
