jeeze louise, c.c.johnson... it's a MOVIE not a 36-part documentary. there's a certain amount of artistic license taken, as there usually is in biopics (after all, we couldn't possibly know every intimate detail and verbatim conversation of the subject) but those close to thatcher have praised streep's portrayal and, while they may quibble with certain details, have not found any major errors in the history portrayed. comparing this movie to tina fey's cheap, satiric take on palin is ridiculous.

to mock another's tragedy is despicable. however, mr. santorum is rather free with his sharing of this sad tale to anyone who will listen... which IS rather creepy. as the kids say, TMI.

good grief, mr.nolte...talk about hyperbole! the Gay& Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has no power to "censor" anything. they are a media watchdog group, not unlike the Parents Television Council, who cite what they consider to be negative (or positive) characterizations. why does their every press release send you into such a frenzy?

"funny" how the same people who are foaming at the mouth over the thatcher movie (never having seen it) can turn right around, with no sense of irony, and condemn GLAAD for citing their objections to characterizations in the media.

i don't give a rat's behind who is married to whom or who may or not be 'cheating'...save that stuff for afternoon tv talk shows and the tabloid press. this presidential election is, or should be, about very serious issues such as the financial stability of our country and whether or not we will choose to continue down the path to a european-style socialism. i'm terribly disappointed that gingrich felt it necessary to make these pledges.

would that be a haley barbour shop ??

i'm disgusted by his politics these days, but i'm pretty sure that maher isn't "trying to convince himself" of anything regarding religion. he plainly states that he does not believe in anybody's gods...catholic or whatever. it's folks like this ms. deangelis, who are so defensive about their own beliefs, who seem to be trying to convince themselves that their chosen mythology is the correct one.

the girl is not a "guest" of her own government...she's a citizen who has every right to tell her representatives what she thinks of them. how pitiful is it that a state governor is reading the tweets of a schoolgirl and reporting her to her principal ?! shame on him for being so petty and for not understanding his oath of office to defend and protect the constitution.

so now where are the pages and pages of ranting, hysterical comments about "liberal hollywood hatchet jobs" ?? maybe it pays to wait until a film is completed and viewed before making a fool of oneself, eh ?

hey...oakland's 'mayor' quan called for peace today and released a dove (really) so everything should be all better now.
