Saturday Sentiment: Where in the World....?

Yesterday on my way to work, yet again, police and security were swarming around the Washington Hilton as were John McCain's campaign people and some Catholic anti-war protesters.Apparently, McCain and Bush were attending the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast. My friend with in the yellow shirt told me that they wanted to make sure McCain knew that even though he was hangin' with the Cats that they don't agree with his proposed policy in Iraq. (Guess they gave up on Bushy a while ago.) Speaking of Bush, I caught his motorcade cruising up Connecticut Ave.

Here's the closest I'll come to the President.

Morgan Spurlock (the Super Size Me guy) calls Bush the 2nd Most Wanted Man in the world. The first is Osama bin Laden, the subject of Spurlock's new film, Where in the World is Osama bin Laden? which opened nationwide yesterday.



I found the film to be a hopeful testament to the people of many countries in the Middle East (with the exception of Saudi Arabia and the Israeli-occupied areas of the West bank, whose on-screen behavior gave me serious chills.) Coming off his Super Size Success, expectations were high and reviews have been lukewarm. Minus a slow beginning, it's a really funny, sincere film that, like Super Size Me, should be required viewing for all Americans.
