One of the few perks of this job, if you can call seeing a movie you have to write about a perk, is getting to see movie screenings before having to wait in line with the rest of the blockbuster fans.
Tomorrow, while most of humanity is lined up to see if the Silver Surfer does destroy the earth, I’ll be at Michael Moore’s latest: Sicko.
Before you get all upset about how liberal he and I are, can you just take a minute and read just a little bit about health care in this country, and how for want of $80 to have a tooth pulled, a 12-year-old child from Maryland named Deamonte Driver got a brain infection, ran up a bill that we’ll all be paying of over $250,000, and then died? For want of 80 bucks, which is less than I spent on dinner with my wife last night, a kid died.
That is sick.
