Hey,
On Sunday Nedra Pickler of the AP wrote a hit piece trying to call Senator Barack Obama’s patriotism into question. It’s up to us to push back against this right wing smear.

Thanks!
I was a movie guy. I did the film criticism classes. Hell, I even watched Attack of the Killer Tomatoes - twice but that was before residency and now an 80 hour per job on the slow weeks. I’ll rent movies because I’m really not liking the movie theaters. The 15 yo’s walking around running around continuously, talking to either other or on their cell phones and talking to the screen is annoying. I would rather stay at home and watch the DVD. Yep, I know. I sound like a grumpy old man - McCain.
