And never mind that McCain is far more of a centrist than Bush.  We&#8217;re all entitled to our opinions and I&#8217;m entitled to mine:  Ed Koch is the world&#8217;s worst film critic.  Yes, the ex-mayor sends out endless movie reviews &#8211; which read like a refugee from the AARP  lost in your high school paper &#8211; in an email barrage to anyone interested or, in my case, disinterested.  I am going to exercise my right to never read another one and unsubscribe.  [Didn&#8217;t you block them as spam over a year ago?-ed.  Shh&#8230;.]]]>Tue, 09 Sep 2008 08:13:25 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
