A healthy reminder of all the utter crap...

http://entertainment.msn.com/movies/movie.aspx?m=175005

I rented it last night and was blown away by the trip back to 2000. Philip Seymour Hoffman takes us to both Conventions as well as their accompanying protests AND the Shadow Convention. There are interviews, sometimes chillingly prescient, with Chomsky, Michael Moore, Eddie Vedder, Willie Nelson, Nader, Activists of all stripes, the list goes on.

Money, money, money. One theme that kept coming up was money, how much and who had it. Oil, oil, oil. Corrupted reporters. Corporately owned Biased Mass Media. Globalisation and outsourced jobs. WTO, GATT, Welfare "Reform"...

Then of course it ends in Florida...Chads, the Brooks Brother's Miami "Riot" to stop the recount, Palm Beachers voting mistakenly for Buchanan, interviews (AT THE TIME IT WAS HAPPENING) with poll workers who were perplexed by the odd numbers of "purged" voters that had to be turned away from voting, I swear to god I had tears in my eyes.

Has anyone else seen it yet? If not DO IT!
