I want to see this, but I am worried. I mean, all the Alien movies, and all the Predator movies have been rated R. Put them together, its needs to be NC-17 or X for it to rule. I won't settle for anything less than hot Alien on Predator action! [I'm ashamed to admit it, but I saw AVP on opening night. Even though I'll end up watching this movie a million times on tivo, it is *not* a good movie. Though I did laugh at every Aztec/Thailand/Egypt reference they made... stupid scientists.] AVP |

] A front group for the Bush campaign called "Swift Boat ] Veterans for Truth" is continuing to spread their lies ] about John Kerry's military record. Their statements have ] been contradicted by official Navy records, the New York ] Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune and every ] man who served under John Kerry -- yet George Bush ] refuses to condemn their tactics. Through his silence, ] George Bush is approving their action. And Bush campaign ] officials in Florida are even promoting events for this ] front group. ] ] Enough is enough. No matter what these Bush campaign ] shills now say, John Kerry's commanders remarked in 1969 ] that, "In a combat environment often requiring ] independent, decisive action, LTJG Kerry was ] unsurpassed." In fact, all of John Kerry's performance ] reports (available on our website) display an absolutely ] heroic record of service. Tell George Bush: Stop the Smear - Get Back to the Issues |

Fair and Balanced... Outfoxed is a Documentary that shows us what we already know, that the FoxNewsChannel (FNC) is neither fair nor balanced.
