OT: Interesting Read
Firehouse Rot
Its a political article so be warned. Read at own risk.
Even More
Micheal Moore and the Truth I found this one to be the most interesting as I did not know about Moore, and I think everyone should.

I must say I am relieved to find that there are people willing to make rational judgement of Michael Moore rather than automatically taking one viewpoint or the opposing. I dislike people who veil there own personal hatreds and goals as the "100% right thing, and anyone who disagrees might as well worship satan". |

Re: OT: Interesting Read
Everything anyone says or does expresses an opinion. Taking that third article alone, you have no assurance that it is anything more than a lying, hate-fueled rant. additional data from at least one other source is needed to triangulate.

There is a simple way to check at least one segment; get the movie, and confirm that it makes the points he says it does in the order he says it does. The rest, without listed sources, is very difficult to confirm or deny from other places; but if you were to watch the movie with the checklist in hand (esp., if you had it on DVD, and could pause easily), there's a pretty good chance you could confirm/deny the list, at least, in a reasonably certain manner.

Re: OT: Interesting Read
True, however, that still requires another data-source, the movie, for triangulation.
Which is a nit-pick.

Re: OT: Interesting Read
Quality control:
Once again the ramblings of Cristopher Hitchens (a Vanity Fair columnist) pops up as “the truth”. This is a hateguy who takes a swing at anything that will get him a bit of attention. A personal favourite of mine is his attacks on Mother Theresa 
Now, Michael Moore may not have the best cred in the world, but this Cristopher Hitchens has even less.
