Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mekong Delta) is ahead of the
increasingly unhinged and incredibly shrinking
_resident in most polls, including relatively accurate
polls like Zogby and the LA Times, and even suspect
polls like Gallup. Al Gore is barnstorming around the
country, speaking the naked, blazing truth about the
Bush abomination. George Soros is still alive. Air America is still broadcasting...The drip, drip, drip of the pre-9/11 White House failures, the WMD lies, the Plame betrayal, the Chalabi national security breach, the Abu Ghraib war crimes, the Halliburton contracts, etc. continues to seep through, albeit painfully and slowly, even into the "US mainstream news media." Americans Coming Together (ACT), the Media Fund, the Center for American Progress and other new organizations are gaining traction. Bill Clinton's autobiography (yes, he wrote it himself), including a blistering critique of the Bush abomination in the last chapter, will be released later this month. Clinton's book tour will provide him with a powerful bully pulpit...AND Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911 will debut in US theatres on June 25th...Yes, there is trouble coming...

to the 11 September attacks and alleges links between
the Bush family and Osama bin Laden's, told the
audience it was time for change. He said: "There has
been a shift in this country. ... The average American
is finally beginning to figure it out. We were duped
[into invading Iraq]."

Political bias
Moore, whose film criticises President Bush's response
to the 11 September attacks and alleges links between
the Bush family and Osama bin Laden's, told the
audience it was time for change.
He said: "There has been a shift in this country. ...
The average American is finally beginning to figure it
out. We were duped [into invading Iraq]."
"I hope this country will be back in our hands in a
short period of time," he added.
Fahrenheit 9/11 was refused distribution by the film's
original backers, Disney - whose Miramax film unit
produced the movie - citing concerns over its apparent
political bias.
But brothers Harvey and Bob Weinstein, the founders of
Miramax, personally bought back the rights from parent
company Disney.
Moore won an Oscar in 2002 documentary Bowling for
Columbine.
He said he expected Fahrenheit 9/11 to do three times
as well as Columbine, which earned a record $21.5m
(£11.75m) for a documentary.
