How things can be turned around is unclear, though at least Bush's poll numbers are heading towards zero and some of the demonisation of neoconservatism that some of us enjoy practicing might be starting to have an effect.<BR/><BR/>WHT - I'm sure V will be excoriated in the "conservative" media in the next few weeks. Strangely enough the tinfoil and anarchist worlds seem a bit unenthusiastic as well, thinking it didn't go far enough...Big Gavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682404837426502876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-1142716600655929802006-03-19T08:16:00.000+11:002006-03-19T08:16:00.000+11:00I am noticing a huge backlash against V as well. ...I am noticing a huge backlash against V as well. Most people that review it say it is one of the worst movies they have seen and leave it at that. No critical thinking added or explanation, which means that it probably has some merit.@whuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297101284358849575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-1142704990329625772006-03-19T05:03:00.000+11:002006-03-19T05:03:00.000+11:00Well, now you have sold me on going to see V.

(BTW, I used to hang out with him in the same bohemian coffee bar back in the 90s.) <BR/><BR/>You might be interested in hearing that another top GOP thinker has admitted US policy is now all about the oil. http://karavans.typepad.com/karavans/2006/03/oil_wars.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
