...even when in this case it's valid," he said in his message. Then things got truly bizarre. O'Leary reiterated an earlier challenge he'd made to Haji-Ioannou to settle their differences with a race around London's Trafalgar Square or a "Sumo Smackdown." "I believe that 'gutless' Stelios should take up my challenge," O'Leary said. "If he is really worried about it, I will give him a head start or a big weight advantage."

...Michael Moore docu-comedy Capitalism: A Love Story, which premiered at Venice last night and which looks like a masterpiece of attitudinal moviemaking next to Stone's slapdash effort.

The producer (Judd Hirsch) of Studio 60--the long-running sketch-show-within-a-show--is forced to kill a controversial sketch about Christians. He goes all Network on his network, launching an on-air tirade about how gutless corporations are "lobotomizing" America. (If there's no two-minute-plus speech, it ain't a Sorkin show.) After he is fired, the new network president (Amanda Peet) persuades former Studio 60 writers Matt Albie (Matthew Perry) and Danny Tripp (Bradley Whitford) to take over and revitalize the show.
