Nice little review of our favorite corpulent, social hemorrhoid Michael Moore.  The review has its points and its problems, but what I particularly liked was the following quote, completely unrelated to Moore:

Back in 1979, Christopher Lasch published "The Culture of Narcissism," a most intriquing piece of work. What may be of significance in our overly-political world is that Lasch was a Marxist, a member of what he called the True Left, and what I call the Thinking Left. The Left in the days when it could generate serious, insightful thought. The days before it became a fad among celebrities with IQs lower than their shoe size, who thought Leftism consisted of getting out of your limosine long enough to call for a government program for the homeless.

That statement just hit home for me.  I've always fancied myself a closet-liberal.  Of course, my buddy Jeff would claim that I'm really just a South Park Republican.
