"Embedded" by Tim Robbins was brilliant.
Leo Strauss was mentioned time and again:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Strauss
I am not familiar, but curious; I loved the term 'maggot journalists' and the whole show is about how the journalists have failed us, soldiers, themselves.
Hatred cures loneliness?
Win the war on poverty? There's $ in it! (I think that was attributed to Rush)
Ah, Leo..

like they did. I figured that info was kinda esoteric and not that known or out there. the parts when it showed the people playing the administration with those masks on was HYSTERICAL!! :thumbsup:

i wish i could have seen it live.

6. I saw it Sunday night in lieu of the Six Feet Under Finale.
I absolutely loved it.
I really liked the Leo Strauss worship.
Most people don't know about him, and I think that the point was to pique curiosity.
He is considered the founder of the NeoCon movement.
