Dennis,

Thanks for the explanations. I still don’t get this meme biz but I’m sure that’s not fatal.

As for Michael Moore, I find it interesting that he is raised as some sort of ogre so frequently. In my view, he and the Bushies have a symbiotic relationship. They dump all over him which gives him credibility in the eyes of those who dislike the administration and then rush out to see his film(s). The defenders of Bush love him because he lies and they catch him lying. Once they’ve determined he’s lied this justifies anything the administration has done–lying about Iraq, about tax cuts, terms of service for reservists, etc., etc. Somehow, I think the world’s a little more complex than this. A pox on both their houses, I say.
