Because capitalism always equals American Republicanism.

I really hope that was meant sarcastically, since I never thought you were that ignorant. American Republicanism is a tail-biting serpents' den that only shares the merest of similarities with capitalism. Republicans don't know better than to shit where they sleep, just like any other pack of exploitive politicians.

It's a good image, though. I'm not sure I like it better than the one of King Shrub II with the Ring of Power, though. Bush has as much in common with capitalism as the steel moguls in Atlas Shrugged who kept asking for gov't grants to keep their factories open. After all, they 'needed time to let the tools of the trade acclimate their minds to the work they would eventually do.'

I was, in fact, being sarcastic. I'm surprised you had to ask, what with my vagueness and all. I was commenting on the film's stance of "capitalism bad, rowdy wrestlers posing as blue-collared heroes good".

Sorry. I guess I'm still bitter about OChris actually asserting something along those lines.

Falina told me it WAS pretty hard to tell whether I was being sarcastic or not.
