Thanks to Salon.com (who are spies like me and listen to right-wing talk shows to wrap the liberal mind around Republican dogma), a

Have you noticed that there are fewer bumper stickers than in years past? In the GOP camp, perhaps all those who had BUSH/CHENEY proudly displayed on their car in 2000 and 2004 now feel some sort of guilty complicity in what eventually transpired. So who knew? Hardly anyone outside of the

This is not like the attempt to impeach former President Bill Clinton. To my knowledge, no one ever died from oral sex in the Oval Office. No semen received a folded American flag for dying in service to the president.

After a montage of pumped up imagery of pro wrestling, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone, Bell explains "I was always against steroids and when I found out that all my heroes used them I'd like to say that it didn't bother me but it did. I can't imagine how my mom would feel if she found out that both my brothers were on steroids right now." That's right, Bell's two brothers use steroids and Bell focuses on them as he explores steroid use in the U.S. Bell's approach takes it's cue from the humorous personal narrative style of Michael Moore's

Okay, Doug Stauber (Seann William Scott) isn't on the very bottom rung but he's close to it. He has a few people he can boss around but not many. One day, though, he spies an empty lot with a sign promising a new Donaldson's Grocery Store will be opening. At last! His chance to move up and become a manager. His boss even tells him he's a "shoo-in" (or is it shoe-in?) for the job. Heck, with that kind of assurance, Doug decides he and his wife can go ahead and buy that house they've always wanted. But wait... some competition arrives from Donaldson's sister company up in teh Great White North. Richard (John C. Reilly) is a recently arrived Canuck who's got his sights set on that new manager position as well. Now the two men will have to compete for the job.The premise has the potential to be funny and the cast (which also includes Lili Taylor and Jason Bateman) is fully capable of delivering top-notch performances.
