...viewers of this film may find their laughter dying earlier, possibly when a home-schooled child is being instructed the earth is just 6,000 years old and that its warming is, like evolution, a myth perpetrated on the faithful by mad science. Or when Harry Potter and the gang at Hogwarts are talked about as the devil's disciple...

The gang of liberal bloggers and online activists who helped raise millions of dollars for Howard Dean's presidential campaign two years ago are now said to be Democratic kingmakers. Last month in Connecticut, they fanned anti-incumbent and antiwar flames and were widely credited with the primary defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman, leading him to run as an independent.
