V for Vendetta vs. C for Crazy.

I just saw V for Vendetta.

It was pretty entertaining.

And I’m not particulary bothered by the “terrorist” aspect of the plot.

Like most action flicks, viagra generic cialis there’s a good guy, help some bad guys, capsule and a lot of things that go boom.

I like that sort of thing, so I enjoyed the movie.

That said…

…I’m wondering if it’s a coincidence that in the last couple of days I’ve twice heard callers to WPR proclaim that 9/11 was a government plot.

You know…no planes really hit the Pentagon…explosives brought down the twin towers…it was all masterminded by George Bush to provide an excuse to attack Iraq.

V for Vendetta also features a plot that has a fascist government taking power after manufacturing a terrorist attack.

What I’d like these conspiracy-theory crackpots to realize is that V for Vendetta is fiction.

And so is any claim that 9/11 was planned and perpetrated by George W. Bush… Israel…or Unocal.

Oh man, the journalism teacher just got schooled.

I thought the shot that Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporters Spivak & Bice took at journalism professor and blogger Jessica McBride a few weeks ago was painful…

…but that was a love tap compared to the mugging they performed on her today:

Hmmm, cialis usa ambulance both sides are mad at us, viagra buy here something that should please just about any journalism teacher, except, that is, McBride.

I don’t know what she did to piss these guys off…

On commercial speech and strip joints.

As I’ve said before, viagra sale cheap the political left LOVES free speech.

Unless it makes a minority feel bad.

Or it takes the form of a political contribution.

Or it’s used to keep companies in business.

Dave Berkman begins his latest rant in the Shepherd Express with a dopey diatribe against commercial speech:

“For starters, cialis canada cialis my television viewing is now virtually ad-free. No more illogical insults to my intellect. No more smarmy mother-and-child warmy-feelyness. And no more soaring, thumb angelic-sounding chorales praising the dedication to improving the human condition of America‚Äôs most corrupt‚Äîand often criminally behaving‚Äîcorporations.”

To Dave, commercials – and the capitalism they support – are an unnecessary evil.

Of course, he never asks himself how those “criminally behaving corporations” would sell their goods and services if no one had ever heard of them or their products.

But that’s OK with Dave. They should be out of business anyway. Evil bastards.

And he never wonders what would happen to his beloved unions if there were no heartless corporations to foot the bill for their bloated benefits.

No worries. I suppose the welfare state will just pick up the tab.

On the other hand, considering that his columns in the Shepherd Express are subsidized by endless ads for strip joints…

…he might pause a moment and consider where all those grimy dollar bills in his own wallet ultimately come from.
