If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! (Warning: This is a long post, but it goes by quickly.) In Michael Moore’s 1995 fictitious movie Canadian Bacon, the U.S. economy was in a rut and the president, whose low approval rating is not unlike that of our former president, decided that what was needed to boost both his popularity and the country’s morale was a good war.
