Another friend approached me. This one was not religious but he was one of the conspiracy theory believers. He put his hands on my shoulders and said smiling, ?I must admit that I?m beginning to believe in what you?ve been telling us for months [...]

Matthew Rothschild of The Progressive magazine is a lefty with a brain. He wasn’t impressed with Michael Moore’s movie, especially with the scene John admires in the next post. Here’s why:
