Unfairenheit 9/11. Professional iconoclast Christopher Hitchens weighs in on Michael Moore: "Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of 'dissenting' bravery." Rhetoric aside, it's quite a good article. Hitchens is not a member of the Bush spin team, by any means, but a free thinker who often takes a hearty dump on conservatives as well. His last major article was The Stupidity of Ronald Reagan, in which he said, "The fox, as has been pointed out by more than one philosopher, knows many small things, whereas the hedgehog knows one big thing. Ronald Reagan was neither a fox nor a hedgehog. He was as dumb as a stump."
