I so hate to disturb you with another *actual* fact. (Where do you get *your* "facts"? From Rush Limbaugh? Bwahahahahahaha!)
Would you like to see his earlier version? Glad to post!
In fact I have a slew of AP's numerous edited versions, which roll in like the tide until it stops. I have learned to wait a couple of days until the cycle is complete.
Would you like to see them too? Would it help you? Would it stop you?

Well, yeah, sure, send it over. If you're right, I'll apologize, and know, in the future, that the notation given at the bottom of the posts giving the date of any edits, is fallible. Or, I suppose you might have meant that he deleted a post, and rewrote it, which can certainly be called 'editing'. Either way, I'm not afraid to admit I was wrong.
However, he seems to have (now? at long last?) a good, solid, workable post, waiting for your reply and learned argument. I anxiously await.

The first round (and this guy often produces three or four -- I have those too, since you seem so very interested).
Hope this will wake you up in time for work.

Baloney! Once again you demonstrate that you haven't done your homework.

> > > "But Michael Moore, the fiction filmmaker, is a highly dishonest man.
Just for a moment take a detour into Christopher Hitchins' mind:" < < <
I find it amusing that YOU extoll the virtues of Christopher Hitchens'
"honest" mind when expressing an opinion on Fahrenheit 911, but one has to
wonder if you share the inherent honesty of his views on a variety of other
subjects. For instance, what is your opinion of his exposing the phoniness
of religion and the depiction of Mother Theresa as a con artist who shilled
for the Catholic church at the expense of those she claimed to be helping?
Do you agree with Hitchens on that topic? If so, fine (I probably have less
problem with CH's views on religion than you), but as you're living in
uber-Catholic Boston maybe you should read Hitchens' book Missionary
Position before relying on him for a profound quote. ;0)
While Christopher Hitchen's usually makes his points in a profound
unflinching manner, but coming from the shock journalism school of
aggressive reporting his biases leave little wiggle room. Furthermore,
when he makes a mistake, he usually makes a whopper and he's loathe to
admit it. Note: To make a bad pun, I think that's called "Hitchin' your
cart to the wrong horse"!
As a staunch Bush war supporter from the outset he's been back peddling for
years trying to defend his position in the face of mounting opposition to
that misguided, mishandled war. Clearly, Hitchens opinion of Fahrenheit
911 should be taken in this light and with a large grain of salt.
> > > "But all is wonderful in that beautiful communist isle of Cuba,
medi-wise, one gathers. Cuba is a shining star just south of big bad
capitalist America. But where on the UN's list does Cuba appear? Does
Michael Moore, that big fat liar, ever tell you?" < < <
Maybe you need to LISTEN to what Moore has said before spouting off insults
and chauvinistic diatribes. Michael Moore stated emphatically that his
film is an effort to point out what works and what doesn't. He made clear
in a CNN interview that Sicko isn't aimed at comparing every good and bad
aspect of every system, but rather an attempt to point out the best
elements of health care from other systems and the worst elements in our's,
the idea being to start a serious discussion of health care reform.
To be fair, we BOTH should see this film before commenting on it's merits,
but if the general consensus is accurate, then Moore's approach should be
lauded because what he has done is shine a beacon on the serious problem of
means testing quality health care in this country. If the U.S. ends up
with a broken system where essential health care is only provided to those
who can afford high premiums and everyone else receives substandard care,
then we'll lose the battle to nations with more compassionate, universal
systems of care for their citizens.

you might want to consider doing it more.
