I'll take Hilary Duff with the scorpion, the washer and dryer set, and the catamaran, Bob.

You can approximate the experience by finding Hillary Duff in a crowd and shouting "GET OVER HERE!".

Pffftt. Anyone with sense knows the only real way to change anything is to biatch about it on the internet.

I heard it sucked too. It's a pity because I enjoy Cusack.

Saw it last night. It has its moments, but it's also cheesy, trite, predictable and boring.

I saw this movie a week ago. I thought it was very, very funny. I like a nice over-the-top satire.

You don't find a shot of a tank with GoldenPalace.com billboards all over it driving over rubble at least a little funny?

Or Bush's autobiograpghy being called "How I Conquered The World and Overcame My Daddy Issues"? (Except they call him "you-know-who" in the movie).

Don't know what you thought you were watching but I thought it was great. There was a lot to like, and even though it was very heavy-handed, it was designed that way...

/the discussion of the "vertical integration" of the pins in replacement limbs also being used in the weapons that removed the real limbs was pretty good gallows humor too...

Only one thing can stop the war, and that's electing a Democratic president come November.

I know what'll stop the war! We'll knit the world's smallest pair of hemp pants, and put them on a mouse, and put the mouse in a cupboard. But which cupboard is it in? People'll be so busy thinking about that, they won't be able to go to war!

/no reason to complain

The interview doesn't make Cusack sound at all like a dumbass; but I wouldn't be surprised if the movie sucks all the same.

Interestingly, the Pentagon would not allow the yippies to encircle the Pentagon. Almost like they were afraid that the levitation would succeed. Maybe Abbie was on to something...


...nah.

Watching Hillary Duff putting things into her pants can only stop one thing, and that's me from not masturbating.

I saw it a few days ago. Excellent film. If you liked any of his former movies, you'll like this too. Its basically a sequel to grosse point blank that takes place in iraq. See it high.

He's trying to equivocate Blackwater doing bodyguard detail for the state department with a complete corporate execution of warfare. It's farking stupid, I can't believe people actually believe this shiat. The misinformation is deeper than the information about this conflict.

Even the pentagon is saying billions of dollars just magically disappeared:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/23/world/middleeast/23audit.html?hp

Let me tell you, I did not get a single cent out of that, and most Americans and Iraqis didn't either. So, who did?

Taken together, those results meant that almost 95 percent of the payments had not been properly documented.
I'd say they need to hire more accountants, but they'd probably just create some fake documentation.

They're talking about improper accounting, they aren't saying someone pocketed the money. But of course, it will be assumed that Halliburton stole it, even after it is accounted for... just like every other time.
